HOWTO

# GNU automake
# ============
# You only really need one, but in case you are building software that does
# not support the latest, or scripts run a specific version of automake
# like 'automake-1.2.3', we cover loads of different ones below.  If you
# run just 'automake' and 'aclocal' you'll get the latest.

# If you want to uninstall automake, or if you just want to clear out
# old files before installing a new version, skip down to the bottom
# for uninstall instructions.

# Slackware 13.1, 13.37: automake 1.11.1
# Slackware 14.0, 14.1: automake 1.11.5
# Slackware 14.2: automake 1.15

# If the download site used below is busy, try one of these:
# http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnu/ftp/gnu/automake/
# http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/

# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# tex (optional; Slackware includes tetex packages)
yacc
lex
