Hi,
I will be conducting an introductory workshop on GNU autotools in
#fedora-classroom on 03 May, 2010 at 13:30 UTC. The aim of the
classroom is to get people started on autotoolizing C code. I will use
an example project and will go through the following:
* Downloading the sample application
* Creating files for the application
=> configure.ac
-> Initialization
-> Checks
-> Output
=> Makefile.am
-> Build programs
-> Install additional files
* Generating scripts
Prerequisites for those wanting to attend this:
* Familiarity with make, gcc
* Ensure that autoconf, automake, gcc, make, etc. are installed on your system.
`yum groupinstall "Development Tools"` ought to get all of it
The session will not be covering autoheader and libtool since:
* The sample I'm using does not need it
* Those concepts are slightly more advanced and may require more time
In other words, the session is for people who have never worked with
autotools before.
