Configure an Autotools project

GNU Autotools automatically creates the required makefiles for an Autotool project. Prior to building, the Autotools plug-in runs the configure script. You can use the Configure Settings property page to set the configuration parameters to be passed:

  1. Right-click the desired project and select Properties.
  2. Select Autotools > Configure Settings entry from the list on the left. The right pane displays the options for the tools configure and autogen.
  3. Choose the tool section and configure the values on the right.

For more details on GNU Autotools, see http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/.

  1. When you finish, click Apply. Use Apply and Close to apply all the changes in the dialog and close it.
