                            PRESENTATION

                     Don't Fear the Autotools!

                                 by

                            Scott Garman
                       <sgarman at zenlinux.com>

    Autoconf. Automake. Libtool. This trio of build configuration
    utilities (known as the Autotools) are used in a large majority
    of compiled software applications for Linux, but they remain a
    mystery to many of us.

    In this gentle introduction to the Autotools, Scott Garman will
    help lift the veil of uncertainty most people have about them.
    You'll also learn about the Gnu Coding Standards and the Filesystem
    Hierarchy Standard, two specifications which explain a lot of the
    "why" behind the Autotools (yes, there is a method to this madness!).
    Finally, Scott will offer some practical tips for understanding
    and fixing errors you may see when building an Autotools-based
    package. It's sure to be a fun romp for the whole family.
