Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages, utility for developing software.
A note about the future of ecsoft2.org
ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.
Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.
If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggamba
tiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.
If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.
This program is installable using the rpm package manager. See below for the install string. Required prerequisites are automatically processed by the package manager and, if needed, downloaded and installed.
