Summary

Well, those are the basics. If you've followed along and understood what we did in this chapter, then you should be able to convert nearly any project to use an Autotools-based build system. For more details on the topics covered here, I refer you to the Autotools manuals. Often just knowing the name of a concept so you can easily find it in the manual is worth a great deal.

In the next chapter, I'll cover the stranger aspects of converting this project, including the details of building Java and C# code, adding compiler-specific optimization flags and command-line options, and even building RPM packages using user-defined make targets in your Makefile.am files.
