Description:
Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles
compliant with the GNU Coding Standards.
Requirements:
· Automake requires the use of GNU autoconf.
· Automake is currently written in Perl, and requires a
Perl interpreter on the developer's system. The resulting
Makefile.in's do not require Perl or any other "nonstandard"
tool (the complete list of standard tools is mentioned in the
coding standards).
· If you use the development version from the cvs
repository, you must also use the cvs version of Autoconf.
Short term
In the short term, we are working towards Automake 1.5. I want
this to be a fairly major release, implementing a number of
frequently-requested features. Whether or not this goal can be met
in a timely way is uncertain, to say the least, so don't be too
disappointed if 1.5 doesn't live up to the expectations I'm about
to set.
Rewrite the manual. Progress is slowly being made here.
Medium term
· Get rid of ``aclocal'' in favor of some better
solution. This probably requires autoconf changes as well.
· Support texi-to-html generation.
· Finish multilib support, and in general better support
cross compiles (this probably requires autoconf support).
· Add features to automake to support packaging tools a
bit better. In particular it should be possible to associate an
installable file with some subpackage name.
Long term
In the long term we are going to rewrite automake in Guile.
That should improve the internal structure a bit, and provide
opportunities to regularize its feature set.
We'd like to change automake so that implementation variables
and targets in the generated Makefile.in follow a naming scheme so
they can easily be avoided by user code.
We're also interested in changing automake so that it can more
easily be used to generate a single large Makefile
