+This is Automake, an experimental Makefile generator. It was inspired
by the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
-automake is a shell script. The input files are called Makefile.am.
+Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am.
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
-with Autoconf.
+with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your
+configure.in.
Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
little *.am files.
-To use AutoMake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
-files. Since there's no documentation, look at the automake script
-and the examples provided for GNU m4 1.3 and fileutils 3.9 (along with
-patches you need to apply to those packages) and time 1.6 and find and
-indent (unreleased versions).
-
-AutoMake is just a prototype at this point -- expect omissions and bugs.
-It uses only the programs that the GNU coding standards allow in
-configure scripts, because I wrote it keeping in mind the possibility
-of it becoming an Autoconf macro, so it would run at configure-time.
-That would slow configuration down a bit, but allow users to modify
-the Makefile.am without needing to fetch the AutoMake package. And,
-the Makefile.in files wouldn't need to be distributed. But all of
-AutoMake would. So I might reimplement AutoMake in Perl, m4, or some
-other more appropriate language.

-- David MacKenzie <djm@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
+To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
+files. Read the documentation to see what to do. The only currently
+valid example is in samples/cpio; the stuff in samples/old is
+obsolete.
Top priorities:
-* Implement new where_HOW scheme.
-* Handle installcheck target
+* Implement new `where_HOW' scheme.
* Handle installable libraries and headers
