NAME

    Alien::Autotools - Build and install the GNU build system.

VERSION

    version 1.02

SYNOPSIS

    From Perl:

     use Alien::Autotools;
     use Env qw( @PATH @ACLOCAL_PATH );
     
     unshift @PATH, Alien::Autotools->bin_dir;
     unshift @ACLOCAL_PATH, Alien::Autotools->aclocal_dir;
     
     system 'autoconf', ...;

    From alienfile:

     use alienfile;
     
     share {
       requires 'Alien::Autotools';
     };

DESCRIPTION

    This Alien provides the minimum tools requires for building autoconf
    based projects which do not come bundled with a working configure
    script. It currently delegates most of its responsibilities to
    Alien::autoconf, Alien::automake, Alien::libtool, and Alien::m4.
