Quick reference for generating a Makefile using the Autotools workflow:
# autoscan . // Scan the folder to generate configure.scan
# cp configure.scan configure.ac // Copy configure.scan to configure.ac
# vi configure.ac // Edit configure.ac
// Add: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,1.0)
// This is the required marco for automake
# aclocal // Execute aclocal to generate aclocal.m4
# autoconf // Execute autoconf to generate configure
# autoheader
# automake --add-missing // Run automake
# touch NEWS; touch README; touch AUTHORS; touch ChangeLog // Create required documents
# automake --add-missing // Run automake again
# ./configure // Execute configure to generate Makefile
# make // Execute make
Following these steps provides a good template to modify the related files for my specific target project.
