<title>GNU Autotools project backend plugin</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is the most common project format on Linux. It has been designed to
|
|
distribute source code packages on a wide range of Unix-like systems.
|
|
If you have ever installed a program using <cmd>configure</cmd>,
|
|
<cmd>make</cmd> and <cmd>make install</cmd>, you probably have already
|
|
used it as a user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is typically a bit more difficult to use as a developer.
|
|
However, it is the default backend for <app>Anjuta</app>, which has features
|
|
that make it easier to use. All the project manager's features are enabled
|
|
when using it.
|
|
You should be able to maintain a project using the Autotools backend without
|
|
writing a line in <file>configure.ac</file> or any <file>Makefile.am</file> files.
|
|
</p>

<note style="bug">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Autotools files give more information than a makefile, but the backend
|
|
does not support all the possible tricks. If you find a project that
|
|
cannot be read correctly, filing a <link href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=anjuta">bug report</link>
|
|
will be appreciated.
|
|
In the meantime, as a workaround, you can use the directory project backend
|
|
instead. It is much more limited but should find all source files.
