You might want to read autobook for the general theory behind autotools. Here's a quick summary -<div><br></div><div>aclocal prepares the running of autotools.</div><div>autoheader prepares autotools to generate a config.h to be consumed by C code</div>
<div><div><a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a> is the "source" to discover the build system and accept user parameters</div></div><div>autoconf converts <a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a> to configure</div>
<div><div>Makefile.am is the "source" to define what is to be built and how.</div></div><div>automake converts Makefile.am to Makefile.in</div><div><br></div><div>till here everything is scripted in ./autogen.sh</div>

<br>
<br>
I have built a new module and I can't seem to<br>
get the changed makefiles to be built. I have not<br>
used "configure" in any of my projects and I'm<br>
not seeing an answer from my google searches.<br>
<br>
The error that I get is during the "make" where<br>
glusterfs-3.2.6/missing errors at line 52<br>
"automake-1.9: command not found".<br>
<br>
This is a newer RedHat environment and it has<br>
automake 1.11 .. if I cp 1.11 to 1.9 I get other<br>
errors ... libtool is reporting that the automake<br>
version is 1.11.1. I believe that it is getting the<br>
1.9 version from Gluster ...<br>
<br>
How do I get a new Makefile.am and Makefile.in<br>
to work in this structure?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
