If you need a verbose introductionary tutorial to Autoconf and Automake that is not more or less outdated: http://www-src.lip6.fr/~Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html The first chapter of the Automake 1.10 manual contains an abbreviated overview: http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Autotools-Introduction The Autobook and the tutorial page http://inti.sourceforge.net/tutorial/libinti/autotoolsproject.html that is referred to in above wiki page refer to older versions of Autoconf and Automake, and thus omit newer constructs. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
