Use Autotools to Produce Makefile

Environment:

OS:UBUNTU 11.04

Kernel Version:2.6.35

1.      Install the software

sudo apt-get install autoconf

2.      The structure of the files.

TestAutotool

----main.c

----include

--------hello.h

----hello

--------hello.c

<main.c>

#include"../include/hello.h"

int main()

{

  PrintHello();

}

 

<hello.h>

#include<stdio.h>

extern voidPrintHello();

 

<hello.c>

#include"../include/hello.h"

 

voidPrintHello()

{

   printf("Hello World\n");

}
