software, tool The GNU project's tool that configures a
source code distribution to compile and run on a different
platform.
Among open source hackers, a mere running binary of a
program is not considered a full release; what's interesting
is a source tree that can be built into binaries using
standard tools. Since the mid-1990s, autoconf, automake,
and libtools have been the standard way to make a
distribution portable so that it can be built on multiple
operating systems without change.
