What is autosetup?

autosetup is a tool, similar to autoconf, to configure a build system for the appropriate environment, according to the system capabilities and the user-selected options.

autosetup is designed to be light-weight, fast, simple and flexible.

Notable features include:

  • Easily check for headers, functions, types for C/C++
  • Easily support user configuration options
  • Can generate files based on templates, such as Makefile.in => Makefile
  • Can generate header files based on checked features
  • Excellent support for cross compilation
  • Replacement for autoconf in many situations
  • Runs with either Tcl 8.5+, Jim Tcl or just a C compiler (using the included Jim Tcl source code!)
  • autosetup is intended to be distributed with projects - no version mismatch issues

autosetup is particularly targeted towards building C/C++ applications on Unix systems, however it can be extended for other environments as needed.
