cwautomacros: a collection of autoconf m4 macros

This project is intended for developers who downloaded a project with CVS/SVN that uses cwautomacros.

If you have been sent here after running `autogen.sh', then get the cwautomacros sources with Anonymous SVN Access, or download the latest tar ball.

It's all plug-and-play: the files and scripts are installed under /usr/share/cwautomacros (or in $CWAUTOMACROSPREFIX/share/cwautomacros if you set that environment variable). After installation, simply go back to the project that sent you here and (re-)run it's `autogen.sh' script.

Environment variables

Apart from CWAUTOMACROSPREFIX, several other environment variables might need to be set for this tool to work. The following environment variables are used by the 'autogen.sh' script:

On FreeBSD one could add something like the following to ~/.profile, for example:

export CWAUTOMACROSPREFIX=$HOME
export AUTOCONF=autoconf259
export AUTOHEADER=autoheader259
export AUTOMAKE=automake19
export ACLOCAL=aclocal19
export LIBTOOL=libtool15
