1.autoscan (autoconf): 扫描源代码以搜寻普通的可移植性问题,比如检查编译器,库,头文件等,生成文件configure.scan,它是configure.ac的一个雏形。
your source files --> [autoscan*] --> [configure.scan] --> configure.ac
2.aclocal(automake):根据已经安装的宏,用户定义宏和acinclude.m4文件中的宏将configure.ac文件所需要的宏集中定义到文件aclocal.m4中。aclocal是一个perl 脚本程序,它的定义是:“aclocal - create aclocal.m4 byscanning configure.ac”user input files optional input process output files ================ ============== ======= ============ acinclude.m4 - - - - -. V .-------, configure.ac ------------------------>|aclocal| {user macro files} ->| |------> aclocal.m4 `-------' 3.autoheader(autoconf): 根据configure.ac中的某些宏,比如cpp宏定义,运行m4,声称config.h.in user input files optional input process output files ================ ============== ======= ============ aclocal.m4 - - - - - - - . | V .----------, configure.ac ----------------------->|autoheader|----> autoconfig.h.in `----------'
4.automake:automake将Makefile.am中定义的结构建立Makefile.in,然后configure脚本将生成的Makefile.in文件转换为Makefile。如果在configure.ac中定义了一些特殊的宏,比如AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,它会调用libtoolize,否则它会自己产生config.guess和config.sub
user input files optional input processes output files ================ ============== ========= ============ .--------, | | - - -> COPYING | | - - -> INSTALL | |------> install-sh | |------> missing |automake|------> mkinstalldirs configure.ac ----------------------->| | Makefile.am ----------------------->| |------> Makefile.in | |------> stamp-h.in .---+ | - - -> config.guess | | | - - -> config.sub | `------+-' | | - - - -> config.guess |libtoolize| - - - -> config.sub | |--------> ltmain.sh | |--------> ltconfig `----------'
5.autoconf:将configure.ac中的宏展开,生成configure脚本。这个过程可能要用到aclocal.m4中定义的宏。
user input files optional input processes output files ================ ============== ========= ============ aclocal.m4 ,autoconfig.h.in - - - - - - -. V .--------, configure.ac ----------------------->|autoconf|------> configure

#cd /hello/
(1) 编写源文件hello.c:
#include<stdio.h>
intmain(intargc,char**argv)
{
printf("Hello,GNU!n");
return0;
}[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ ll

[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ autoscan
autom4te:configure.ac:nosuchfileordirectory
autoscan:/usr/bin/autom4tefailedwithexitstatus:1
[litao@vm0000131hello]$ll

-rw-rw-r--1litaolitao457Aug1212:03configure.scan
-rw-rw-r-- 1 litao litao 68 Aug 12 12:02 hello.c已经生成了configure.scan,autoscan.log文件
将configure.scan 修改为 configure.in,最后修改的内容如下:
[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ mv configure.scan configure.in
[litao@vm0000131hello]$vimconfigure.in
# -*- Autoconf -*-
#Processthisfilewithautoconftoproduceaconfigurescript.
AC_PREREQ(2.59)
AC_INIT(FULL-PACKAGE-NAME,VERSION,BUG-REPORT-ADDRESS)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([hello.c])
#AC_CONFIG_HEADER([config.h])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,1.0)
#Checksforprograms.
AC_PROG_CC
#Checksforlibraries.
#Checksforheaderfiles.
#Checksfortypedefs,structures,andcompilercharacteristics.
#Checksforlibraryfunctions.
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)二、acloacl
[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ aclocal
生成 aclocal.m4 和 autom4te.cache (生成aclocal.m4的过程中涉及到configure.in)
[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ ll
total44
-rw-rw-r--1litaolitao31120Aug1212:08aclocal.m4

-rw-rw-r-- 1 litao litao 68 Aug 12 12:02 hello.c三、antoconf
[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ autoconf
生成configure(根据configure.in,和aclocal.m4)
[litao@vm0000131hello]$ll

四、编写Makefile.am:AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS= foreign
bin_PROGRAMS=hello
hello_SOURCES= hello.c五、automake
生成 Makefile.in, depcomp, install-sh, 和 missing (根据 Makefile.am, 和 aclocal.m4)
[litao@vm0000131 hello]$ automake

configure.in:requiredfile`./missing'notfound
Makefile.am:requiredfile`./depcomp'notfound
[litao@vm0000131hello]$automake--add-missing
