Description: A tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from
files called `Makefile.am'.
.
The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance
from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back
of the Automake maintainer).
.
The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions
(with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated
`Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
.
Automake 1.8 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 did, so has been renamed so that the previous
version can continue to be made available.
