21 Feb 2006 If you write software for more than one UNIX® platform, you are aware of the difficulty of getting your software to compile on two platforms. This tutorial covers tools and tricks that can make the process of supporting different UNIX platforms significantly easier at the code level. The reason is not the lack of tools or a binary compatibility issue, but rather the problems with the header files and functions that set up a standard UNIX environment.
In this tutorial
- UNIX incompatibilities
- Common areas of conflict
- Using the GNU autotools
Prerequisites
None.
System requirements
You'll need access to a C compiler on you system to try out some of the examples. To try out the example autotools session, you need access to the Autoconf/autotools packages available through the GNU Web site.
