Configuration requirements

The simplest way to meet the basic Automake requirements is to use the macro AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (see section Autoconf macros supplied with Automake). But if you prefer, you can do the required steps by hand:

Here are the other macros which Automake requires but which are not run by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE:

AC_OUTPUT
Automake uses this to determine which files to create (see section `Creating Output Files' in The Autoconf Manual). Listed files named Makefile are treated as `Makefile's. Other listed files are treated differently. Currently the only difference is that a `Makefile' is removed by make distclean, while other files are removed by make clean.
