我们从最常使用的例子程序 helloworld 开始。下面的过程如果简单地说来就是： 新建三个文件： helloworld.c、configure.in、Makefile.am 然后执行： aclocal; autoconf; automake --add-missing; ./configure; make; ./helloworld 就可以看到 Makefile 被产生出来，而且可以将 helloworld ========================== 然后执行命令 aclocal 和 autoconf，分别会产生 aclocal.m4 及 configure 两个文件： $ aclocal $ ls aclocal.m4 configure.in helloworld.c $ autoconf $ ls aclocal.m4 autom4te.cache configure configure 文件，你必须告诉 autoconf 如何找到你所用的宏。方式是使用 aclocal 程序来生成你的 aclocal.m4。 aclocal 根据 configure.in 文件的内容, 自动生成 aclocal.m4 文件。aclocal 是一个 perl 脚本程序, 它的定义是: “aclocal - create aclocal.m4 by scanning configure.ac”。 autoconf

fill po/POTFILES.in as described in the documentation. Please run 'aclocal' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file. You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.9 (or newer) to do this. Then run 'autoconf' （国际化版）： $ cat Makefile.am # recursively process `Makefile.am` in SUBDIRS SUBDIRS = po lib src man ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 EXTRA_DIST = build-aux/config.rpath m4/ChangeLog
