Dear Gambitizers,
Hi,
Autoconf seems to be the most familiar routine (I mean typing ./configure && make && make install), so it would be good to know how to set up such a distribution. For example, "make dist" would compile scheme modules in such a way that all the work left is for the C compiler.
It is famous, well spread, but bad. The autotools are everything but friendly, and there are other tools that can be much better, though they are still seldom used.
Scons, aap, cmake, makepp...
P!
