GNU Build Tools
The GNOME project is using a number of standard GNU tools for building
on multiple architectures.


libtool
        A set of shell scripts to automatically configure UNIX
        architectures to build shared libraries in generic fashion. If
        everything is working, you won't even know it's there. 
              * Read the libtool info page (it ships with most GNU/Linux
                distributions). 
              * If the GNOME help browser works, load "info:libtool." 
autoconf
        Autoconf creates portable and configurable packages. If you've
        ever run a configure script, you've seen what autoconf can do. 
              * Read the autoconf info page (again, it ships with most
                GNU/Linux distributions). 
              * If the GNOME help browser works, load "info:autoconf." 
              * Read an overview of the GNU build system. 
              * Check out this autoconf tutorial. 
              * Read this tutorial on checking a library into CVS. It
                covers autoconf and CVS basics, and is key for
                understanding how the GNOME build system is meant to
                work. 
automake
        Automake is a Makefile generator. It normally works with
        autoconf to automatically produce Makefiles based upon what
        configure determined about a system. 
              * Read the automake info page. 
              * Load "info:automake" in the GNOME help browser.
