How to use automake

[Christian Bauer]

Hi!

After changing 'configure.in', 'acconfig.h' or 'acinclude.m4' you should 
run

 $ aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake

I suggest that you do this on squark because it has newer versions of
autoconf and automake.

After changing one of the 'Makefile.am' files you should run

 $ automake; ./config.status

at the top level (i.e. the directory where 'configure.in' lies).
'automake' will generate the 'Makefile.in's and 'config.status' will
recreate the Makefiles according to your last configuration (this
assumes that you didn't change 'configure.in' or did a 'make distclean'
in which case you must re-run 'configure').

These should be the only configuration-related files which you can edit.

Bye,
Christian
