NAM - Not Automake
What is NAM
Not AutoMake (NAM) is a set of files that
allow development of platform independent build environments that utilise
the GNU Autoconf
tool without also requiring the use of the
GNU Automake tool.
The benefits include:
- Default build targets, all these targets are recursively called in any
subdirectories processed by the Makefile
- all - Build all targets
- clean - Remove all temporary build files and final targets
- install - Install software to the system
- uninstall - Remove software from the system
- Recursive make in listed subdirectories
- C++ compilation of source code
- Linking of C++ archives (*.a) and executables
- Optional clean or verbose output during build
- Automatic generation of dependencies
- Automatic re-execution of autoconf and configure if
necessary
- configure.in has changed
- One of the templated *.in files have been modified
- Readable Makefiles
- Installation of executables in either $(prefix)/usr/bin or
$(prefix)/usr/sbin
- Installation of man pages to system
- Application specific extensions to the all, install and
uninstall targets

Downloads
NAM consists of two sets of files, the required files which must be
copied into the top level directory of your project and the sample/template
files which you can use to base your projects configure.in and
Makefile.in files on. Please read the NAM documentation for
further information.
