Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. Without manual user intervention these scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems.

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.

Requirements:

· GNU M4
