Description Polarina 2006-10-30 07:50:27 UTC
What I'm requesting here are more manuals, it's good to know how to use computer programs but don't you think people should know how to make their own too?

--- --- --- ---

How do I create a project by myself using autoconf, autoheader, automake, and whatever these are? The documentations at http://www.gnu.org for these tools are just way too complicated, too long, and not even a single or one very simple tutorial how to set up the basics.
The point is that you scroll up and down, up and down, up and down and the requirements to understand all that is to remember it! Even the basics.

What can we do? It's very annoying. Could someone fix my life and make a simple documentation here?, or even just something like "step by step" instruction that explains what you are doing. :)
