-Hacking It Yourself ==================================================
-
-As distributed, Guile needs only an ANSI C compiler and a Unix system
-to compile. However, Guile's makefiles, configuration scripts, and a
-few other files are automatically generated, not written by hand. If
-you want to make changes to the system (which we encourage!) you will
-find it helpful to have the tools we use to develop Guile. They
-are the following:
-
-Autoconf 2.13 --- a system for automatically generating `configure'
- scripts from templates which list the non-portable features a
- program would like to use. Available in
- "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf"
-
-Automake 1.4 --- a system for automatically generating Makefiles that
- conform to the (rather Byzantine) GNU coding standards. The
- nice thing is that it takes care of hairy targets like 'make
- dist' and 'make distclean', and automatically generates
- Makefile dependencies. Automake is available in
- "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake"
-
- Before using automake, you may need to copy `threads.m4' and
- `guile.m4' from the top directory of the Guile core disty to
- `/usr/local/share/aclocal.
-
-libtool 1.3.3 --- a system for managing the zillion hairy options needed
- on various systems to produce shared libraries. Available in
- "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool"
-
-You are lost in a little maze of automatically generated files, all
-different.
