Description

Automake is a tool that automatically generates portable Makefile files for software. It uses Makefile templates (called Makefile.am) and creates standard Makefiles that comply with GNU conventions and can run on different Unix or Linux systems.

Automake simplifies software compilation and installation by ensuring that build rules, dependencies, and installations are correct and consistent, while facilitating integration with Autoconf for portable and reliable builds.
