Hello guys,
I am new to UNIX programing, i know how to write make files
any how i would like to write dynamic make files depending on the libraries
the user has, iv seen in many programs using the "./configure" and would like
to ask if any one has a tutorial on how to write Makefile.in files for my
programs so that they could be dynamically configured by ./configure
Thanks for your help, Greets Jad

I don't know about a tutorial, but autoconf (the tool which generates
configure scripts) has documentation in Info format ("info autoconf",
or "C-h C-i autoconf" in XEmacs).

Jad,
Try this document. It is a nice intro into how the gnu configure system
works. With a few examples. It will get you started, and as you get a
feel for how it all works, you can delve into the autoconf/automake/libtool
info documents.
