I'm starting to dabble in these self-contained self-building scripts and tools and so on, like automake, autoconf, libtool, and so on. Are these the preferred way of doing things on FreeBSD, or is there a better or more BSD-way of doing them? Some time ago, Terry Lambert suggested that tools such as imake were vastly superior, and that the GNU tools were just to compensate for the inconsistencies across Linux distros. I'd like to learn something that makes sense to learn because it is practical, but at the same time, without sacrificing too much portability. jm --
