I spent a long time and a lot of effort learning what I now know about the Autotools. Most of this learning process was more painful than it really had to be. I've written this book so that you won't have to struggle to learn what should be a core set of tools for the open source programmer. Please feel free to contact me, and let me know your experiences with learning the Autotools. I can be reached at my personal email address at john.calcote@gmail.com. Good luck in your quest for a better software development experience!
