README

        From the autosetup v0.6.2 User Manual...

========================================

autosetup is a tool, similar to autoconf, to configure a build system for

the appropriate environment, according to the system capabilities and the user

configuration.

autosetup is designed to be light-weight, fast, simple and flexible.

Notable features include:

  * Easily check for headers, functions, types for C/C++

  * Easily support user configuration options

  * Can generate files based on templates, such as Makefile.in => Makefile

  * Can generate header files based on checked features

  * Excellent support for cross compilation

  * Replacement for autoconf in many situations

  * Runs with either Tcl 8.5+, Jim Tcl or just a C compiler (using the

    included Jim Tcl source code!)

  * autosetup is intended to be distributed with projects - no version

    issues

autosetup is particularly targeted towards building C/C++ applications on Unix

systems, however it can be extended for other environments as needed.

autosetup is *not*:

  * A build system

  * A replacement for automake

  * Intended to replace all possible uses of autoconf

Try: ./autosetup --help or ./autosetup --reference

Quick Start

-----------

To install autosetup into your project, 'cd' to the top level

of your project and run:

  <path-to-autosetup>/autosetup --install

Once autosetup is installed, create auto.def, run:

  ./configure

To migrate an autoconf-enabled project to autosetup:

  <path-to-autosetup>/migrate-autoconf
