This mailing list is not responsible for the content at linux.die.net; however, that site appears to be scraping the man pages that get installed by automake and turning them into web pages. Man pages are intentionally shorter than the full documentation, which I already pointed you to (and which is also available in info format on your machine, assuming you installed the documentation locally rather than depending on a web site). Now, can you please be any more _specific_ about your complaint, in relation to the manuals that I pointed you to? I personally find chapter 2 of the automake manual to be just the very high-level overview that describes what the autotools are useful for, culminating in a simple hello-world example usage. But I'm biased, because I already use the tool. In order to improve the documentation, we need actual comments on how existing text is confusing, what you found missing, and potential wording we should add, rather than a generalization of "there is no overview". --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --1INamIenXUHGoEsPI47qRHi4kfdXXla0m Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJSMbVZAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nqtf0H/3BBY5WYMu5P3VMK7Zj0DwAD TV3bFIQ0Xhi6kQ9MQhElGrdxLuKV0lq8QiNHChIR6xsXVqqKO4Iigonk5ap4/SV6 FK2NlNJbs6v1HxcifmqIvXcSNmgRjL9jKtaZ3U3FGE3FlMN0mgKTt1t5iG+ZanoZ vA1GBpFWIeJtR/WGPggLfOuSiq0ruho33L4gEMWUIs12cl2ABe28BnJr8V43KOol ZJIsZT5XL7hXSvNqn6/xX2mjmS9SvQSow7u2QJ8LlUzbcG/Ellu07NJj6phNSW3O C/FcgN68RTxiUW8Y4LHs+FNL9/EImoAEL2lUzkXtgaKrBU5EUkLS/kngTwOUr0Q= =ORQ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1INamIenXUHGoEsPI47qRHi4kfdXXla0m-- From unknown Sat Aug 16 22:46:31 2025 X-Loop: help-debbugs@gnu.org Subject: bug#15113: close References: <520F2FC4.4020206@renewalcomputerservices.com> In-Reply-To: <520F2FC4.4020206@renewalcomputerservices.com> Resent-From: Stefano Lattarini Original-Sender: "Debbugs-submit" Resent-CC: bug-automake@gnu.org Resent-Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 21:15:01 +0000 Resent-Message-ID: Resent-Sender: help-debbugs@gnu.org X-GNU-PR-Message: followup 15113 X-GNU-PR-Package: automake X-GNU-PR-Keywords: To: 15113@debbugs.gnu.org Cc: GNU bug tracker automated control server Received: via spool by 15113-submit@debbugs.gnu.org id=B15113.138316767921298 (code B ref 15113); Wed, 30 Oct 2013 21:15:01 +0000 Received: (at 15113) by debbugs.gnu.org; 30 Oct 2013 21:14:39 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:53513 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Vbd66-0005XQ-7u for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:14:38 -0400 Received: from mail-we0-f169.google.com ([74.125.82.169]:56920) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Vbd62-0005X8-Sz; Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:14:35 -0400 Received: by mail-we0-f169.google.com with SMTP id q58so1890565wes.14 for ; Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:14:28 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20120113; h=message-id:date:from:mime-version:to:cc:subject:content-type :content-transfer-encoding; bh=p6AmdvwUcPTKBbNlnSHTdH24udjsDvvccB4YC59uFmo=; b=sqkUapDTyAdF+YCVgxPnnwZ2VsovLPFhuIeSmly+1l6i7W6B6h18dcjmWJ5qLB5dcl KuTx9dzaNHV8TcVCiaShDINoeS+ahcANS7oUmyS3hCZpqRxa0yHDXTPuURLmoFiuNhMk z+MTZkE5ndTsB5ecyjKB/NlO4FROTV8V7EO2U5UzgGFAhPr17XyRCKIKoBZepXHoKc0j dWFxyMaclHxAuNsda6/4mB0Bhm2bF2vyjeiD51qqwmhVihAM60iUHi+wo9k1122PoQnz vKKyqQGJ2xFXWOHzSeNB7W2ZQdDugFgI36Y78OR2l5t5tamEm2RcqRzzrucMHIdggw4j RqwQ== X-Received: by 10.180.149.234 with SMTP id ud10mr3835391wib.25.1383167668707; Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:14:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [192.168.1.11] ([79.97.144.61]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPSA id ll10sm2808556wic.9.2013.10.30.14.14.27 for (version=TLSv1 cipher=ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA bits=128/128); Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:14:28 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <527176AC.5030901@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 21:14:20 +0000 From: Stefano Lattarini MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Score: -0.7 (/) X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -0.7 (/) tags 15113 notabug close 15113 thanks Reference: Eric pointed out already that there is no real bug here, and the OP hasn't posted any further feedback in the last month and a half.
