How To Install autoproject on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install autoproject on Kali Linux.

What is autoproject

autoproject is:

autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the Makefile.

The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project.

Optionally, the new package will use a command line parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports two parser generators: clig by Harald Kirsch [email protected] (see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/software/), and autogen by Bruce Korb [email protected] (see http://autogen.sf.net/).
