Autotools¶
Conan provides different tools to help manage your projects using Autotools. They can be
imported from conan.tools.gnu
. The most relevant tools are:
- AutotoolsDeps: the dependencies generator for Autotools, which generates shell scripts containing environment variable definitions that the Autotools build system can understand.
- AutotoolsToolchain: the toolchain generator for Autotools, which generates shell scripts containing environment variable definitions that the Autotools build system can understand.
- Autotools build helper, a wrapper around the command line invocation of autotools that abstracts calls like ./configure or make into Python method calls.
- PkgConfigDeps: the dependencies generator for pkg-config which generates pkg-config files for all the required dependencies of a package.
For the full list of tools under conan.tools.gnu
please check the reference section.
