Sounds interesting, but please elaborate a little more... Does this have to do with the /Automake directory in lupu 5.25, for example?

Or would it help in compiling lxpanelx? It complained that it needed "automake"...

Thanks in advance.

In the above screenshot you can see 'make' files that have made by a software developer to allow you to compile and install the software.

Updated package

Chrome,

This looks like it will be useful for me.
Noob question: how do I use it?

Is it just a matter of extracting the source, then typing "automake"?

Hi there

The application will run by itself without any further input.

Please note that it is used for compiling software that does not have a 'Make' or 'Makefile' included.

An example of this would be something that you have downloaded using GIT.

In this case you navigate to your folder and then open up terminal and type in 'make'

This will create the necessary files for you then to configure with:

./configure

I hope that makes sense?

chrome307,

thank you, for the explanation
