== autotools ==

Most of our software uses the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system autotools]. We ship a generic [/export/HEAD/research/autotools/bootstrap bootstrap] script that is used to prepare the build tree by calling `autoconf`, `automake` and other utilities.

== Utilities ==

We generate changelogs from a git-svn checkout of the projects using the following snippet in the Makefile:

{{{
#!makefile
update-changelog: FORCE
        git --help >/dev/null 2>&1 \
          && test -d .git \
          && git log --stat | awk 'function flush() { if (m != "") { print "Commit: " v "\nAuthor: " a m } m=""; v="UNSUBMITTED" } { if ($$1 == "commit") flush(); else if ($$1 == "Author:") { a = $$2 } else if ($$1 == "git-svn-id:") { split($$2,tmp,"@"); v=tmp[2] } else if ($$_ != "    ") { m=m "\n" $$_ } } END { flush() }' > ChangeLog
}}}
