Hi, I'm just starting to learn autotools, so far I've tried about 1/4 of 4 tutorials, without much success. Then I RTFM, and overall it's surprisingly good :) Starting from scratch, I ran autoscan, but it gave an error message: autom4te: configure.ac: no such file or directory autoscan: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1 It's not an actual problem since configure.scan is generated, but the error is annoying and unnecessary. $ touch configure.ac && autoscan is nice, as the output shows what's going on and it's obvious what to do next. So my nitpick is that I think the manual should mention to create an initial empty configure.ac before running autoscan, in part 3.2.
