Make, makefile, autoconf?

Posted by Maarten Albrecht on 2000-03-13

I've just started to code in C under linux using the GTK libraries. I've
been using this tutorial that tells me to type "gcc -Wall -g helloworld.c -o
hello_world `gtk-config --cflags` `gtk-config --libs`" to compile the file
helloworld.c... This seems rather long, the tutorial advises me to use
automake and autoconf but doesn't explain how it works...
Can anybody tell me this or show me where to find it?

thanks,
