This document provides an introduction to the Starlink build system. It describes how to use the Starlink versions of the GNU autotools (autoconf, automake and libtool), how to build the software set from a checkout, how to add and configure new components, and acts as a reference manual for the Starlink-specific autoconf macros and Starlink automake features.
It does not describe the management of the CVS repository in detail, nor any other source maintainance patterns.
It should be read in conjunction with the detailed build
instructions in the README file at the top of the source
tree (which takes precedence over any instructions in this document,
though there should be no major disagreements), and with SUN/248, which additionally includes platform-specific notes.
