|
<p>The Free Software Foundation, the organization behind the GNU project,
|
|
has been unifying the build procedure for its tools for some time.
|
|
Thanks to its tools ‘<samp class="samp">autoconf</samp>’ and ‘<samp class="samp">automake</samp>’, most packages
|
|
now respond well to these simple steps, with no other intervention
|
|
necessary:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example-preformatted">./configure <var class="var">options</var>
|
|
make
|
|
make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/<var class="var">package</var>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hopefully, these tools can evolve to be aware of Stow-managed packages,
|
|
such that providing an option to ‘<samp class="samp">configure</samp>’ can allow ‘<samp class="samp">make</samp>’
|
|
and ‘<samp class="samp">make install</samp>’ steps to work correctly without needing to
|
|
“fool” the build process.
