Next: Creating a Makefile.in, Previous: General ideas, Up: GNU Automake [Contents][Index]
This section contains two small examples.
The first example (see A simple example, start to finish) assumes you have an existing project already using Autoconf, with handcrafted Makefiles, and that you want to convert it to using Automake. If you are discovering both tools, it is probably better that you look at the Hello World example presented earlier (see A Small Hello World).
The second example (see Building true and false) shows how two programs can be built from the same file, using different compilation parameters. It contains some technical digressions that are probably best skipped on first read.
