If I want to work on the GNU Hello project, which can be downloaded at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.4.tar.gz, what IDEs can I use to import the project and export it as deployable project( configure->make) after some dependency and code changes? A normal text editor. Automake, and autoconf are just plain text files, you don't need a complex IDE to edit them. The documentation is also very easy to navigate if you are looking for hints on what function to use. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
