This takes a long time, about 5 SBUs. Install the package: make install Contents of Automake Installed programs acinstall, aclocal, aclocal-1.8, automake, automake-1.8, compile, config.guess, config.sub, depcomp, elisp-comp, install-sh, mdate-sh, missing, mkinstalldirs, py-compile, symlink-tree, ylwrap Short descriptions acinstall a script that installs aclocal-style M4 files. acinstall aclocal generates aclocal.m4 files based on the contents of configure.in files. aclocal automake a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files from Makefile.am files. To create all the Makefile.in files for a package, run this program in the top-level directory. By scanning the configure.in file, it automatically finds each appropriate Makefile.am file and generate the corresponding Makefile.in file. automake compile a wrapper for compilers. compile config.guess a script that attempts to guess the canonical triplet for the given build, host, or target architecture. config.guess config.sub a configuration validation subroutine script. config.su depcomp a script for compiling a program so that dependency information is generated in addition to the desired output. depcomp elisp-comp byte-compiles Emacs Lisp code. elisp-comp install-sh a script that installs a program, a script, or a data file. install-sh mdate-sh a script that prints the modification time of a file or directory. mdate-sh missing a script acting as a common stub for missing GNU programs during an installation. missing mkinstalldirs a script that creates a directory tree. mkinstalldirs py-compile compiles a Python program. py-compile symlink-tree a script to create a symlink tree of a directory tree. symlink-tree ylwrap a wrapper for lex and yacc. ylwrap
