Autoconf creates a +configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the +operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 +macro calls. + +Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU M4 and +Perl. You should install GNU M4 (version 1.4.6 or later is required; +1.4.14 or later is recommended) and Perl (5.005_03 or later) before +configuring Autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find +them. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are +self-contained, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU +M4, Perl, etc.). + +You can get GNU M4 here: + +ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ + +The file INSTALL should be distributed with packages that use +Autoconf-generated configure scripts and Makefiles that conform to the +GNU coding standards. The package's README can just give an overview +of the package, where to report bugs, and a pointer to INSTALL for +instructions on compilation and installation. This removes the need +to maintain many similar sets of installation instructions. + +Be sure to read BUGS and INSTALL. + +Mail suggestions to autoconf@gnu.org, report bugs to +bug-autoconf@gnu.org, and submit patches to autoconf-patches@gnu.org. +All changes can be tracked at the read-only autoconf-commit@gnu.org. +Always include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by +running `autoconf --version'. Archives of bug-autoconf@gnu.org can be +found in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/>, and +similarly for the other mailing lists. + +Licensing + +Autoconf is released under the General Public License version 3 (GPLv3+). +Additionally, Autoconf includes a licensing exception in some of its +source files; see the respective copyright notices for how your +project is impacted by including scripts generated by Autoconf, and the +COPYING.EXCEPTION file for the exception in terms of the Additional +Permissions as described in section 7 of GPLv3. + +For more licensing information, see +<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html> and +<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/exceptions.html>. + +For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package +note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval. + +----- + +Copyright (C) 1992-1994, 1998, 2000-2011 Free Software Foundation, +Inc. + +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved.
