We must now generate the other files, using the following commands.
aclocal autoconf autoheader automake |
When we run `autoheader', it will remind us of any macros we forgot to add to `acconfig.h'.
When we run `automake', it will want to add some files to our distribution. It will add them automatically if we use the `--add-missing' option.
By default, `automake' will run in GNU mode, which means that it will want us to create certain additional files; as of this writing, it will want `NEWS', `README', `AUTHORS', and `ChangeLog', all of which are files which should appear in a standard GNU distribution. We can either add those files, or run `automake' with the `--foreign' option.
Running these tools will generate the following files, all of which are described in the next chapter.
