商品描述

The GNU Autotools make it easy for developers to create software that is portable across many UNIX-like operating systems. Thousands of open source software packages use the Autotools, but the learning curve is unfortunately steep, and it can be difficult for a beginner to find anything more than basic reference material on using the powerful software suite.

In Autotools, author John Calcote begins with an overview of high-level concepts; then tackles more advanced topics, like using the M4 macro processor with Autoconf, extending the Automake framework, and building Java and C# sources.

You'll learn how to:

  • Master the Autotools build system to maximize your software's portability
  • Generate Autoconf configuration scripts to simplify the compilation process
  • Produce portable makefiles with Automake
  • Build cross-platform software libraries with Libtool
  • Write your own Autoconf macros

Autotools also includes a variety of complete projects that you're encouraged to work through to gain a real-world sense of how to become an Autotools practitioner. For example, you'll turn the FLAIM and Jupiter projects' hand-coded, makefile-based build systems into a powerful Autotools-based build system.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

GNU Autotools 讓開發者能夠輕鬆地創建可在許多類UNIX作業系統上移植的軟體。數千個開源軟體套件使用 Autotools,但可惜的是,學習曲線相對陡峭,對於初學者來說,很難找到更多關於使用這個強大軟體套件的基礎參考資料。

在《Autotools》一書中,作者 John Calcote 首先概述了高層次的概念,然後探討了更進階的主題,例如如何使用 M4 宏處理器與 Autoconf、擴展 Automake 框架以及建構 Java 和 C# 程式碼。

你將學會如何:

- 掌握 Autotools 建構系統,以最大化軟體的可移植性
- 生成 Autoconf 配置腳本,以簡化編譯過程
- 使用 Automake 生成可移植的 makefile
- 使用 Libtool 建構跨平台軟體庫
- 撰寫自己的 Autoconf 宏

《Autotools》還包含了一些完整的專案,鼓勵你通過實際操作來瞭解如何成為 Autotools 的實踐者。例如,你將把 FLAIM 和 Jupiter 專案的手寫、基於 makefile 的建構系統轉換為功能強大的基於 Autotools 的建構系統。
