We add the directory example/linksc which does nothing in the usual build process.
In that directory, however, hides a self-contained autotools build system of a small demo.
It showcases how to
write a relatively minimal configure.ac and Makefile.am
pull an external make installed library into the build
set proper LDFLAGS and -rpath options for the build
Together with the abundand autotools manuals on the web, this should make it real easy to begin using them. In particular the Makefile.am way eliminates Makefile headache entirely. In my eyes, the real winner is not autoconf but the rather underrated automake and even libtool, even for not so complex projects.
