56 GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce
57 shell scripts to automatically configure software source code
58 packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of
59 UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf
60 creates a configuration script for a package from a template
61 file that lists the operating system features that the package
62 can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
