Automake
In software development, GNU Automake is a programming tool to automate parts of the compilation process. It eases usual compilation problems. For example, it points to needed dependencies.
It automatically generates one or more Makefile.in from files called Makefile.am. Each Makefile.am contains, among other things, useful variable definitions for the compiled software, such as compiler and linker flags, dependencies and their versions, etc. The generated Makefile.ins are portable and compliant with the Makefile conventions in the GNU Coding Standards, and may be used by configure scripts to generate a working Makefile.
The Free Software Foundation maintains automake as one of the GNU programs, and as part of the GNU build system.
Download
GNU Automake can be found on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/. Use the
wget command to download the file. The following is for the
1.15 version:
cd ~/Downloads wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
This will download the tar file to your
/home/[user]/Downloads directory. Verify the download.
ls -la
This should return something like:
total 2196 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 33 May 1 22:13 . dr-xr-x---. 17 root root 4096 May 1 16:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2244206 May 1 22:12 automake-1.15.tar.gz
Next, uncompress the file.
tar -zxvf automake-1.15.tar.gz
Move the automake files to the /usr/local/automake directory.
sudo mv /root/Downloads/automake-1.15 /usr/local/automake ls -la /usr/local/automake
This should return something like:
