autosetup is a tool, similar to autoconf, to configure a build
system for the appropriate environment, according to the system
capabilities and the user configuration.
autosetup is designed to be light-weight, fast, simple and flexible.
Notable features include:
* Easily check for headers, functions, types for C/C++
* Easily support user configuration options
* Can generate files based on templates, such as Makefile.in =>
Makefile
* Can generate header files based on checked features
* Excellent support for cross compilation
* Replacement for autoconf in many situations
* Runs with either Tcl 8.5+, Jim Tcl or just a C compiler (using
the included Jim Tcl source code!)
* autosetup is intended to be distributed with projects - no
version issues
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
