Good question. Am I the only one who find autotools/automake too much of a hack to be useful ? I mean: if we need things like automake to make the makefile and autotools to create configure scripts that will then make automake files which coincidentally make the makefile that will make the program... ... then I think we are so far lost in patching up things that should be right in the first place that we should seriously consider fixing some underlying problems of the O.S (either directly) or indirectly by incorporating the different approaches in the source code. Can we please start a flame war on autotools ? :-))) -- Dr. Werner Van Belle http://werner.yellowcouch.org/
