I am confused about what belongs to autoconf and what belongs to automake.
For the usually configure -> make -> make install, what belongs to
autoconf what belongs to automake?
It is reasonable to be confused about this unless one reads the
documentation. Most elements used to prepare the configure script are
from Autoconf (https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/) but some
parts pertaining to production (and maintenance) of the
Autoconf/Automake/Libtool parts are handled by Autoconf macros from
Automake (https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/).
It is definitely worth reading some of the documentation. I see that
section 2 of the Autoconf documentation specifically answers your
question.
