How to make a GNU package?

  • find a name for the package
  • structure the package directory: 
touch README INSTALL NEWS AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog
mkdir src build-aux doc test #lib
  • populate the src/ directory with your code, e.g. hello.cpp 
touch configure.ac Makefile.am src/Makefile.am doc/Makefile.am #and edit
autoreconf --install
./configure #can be followed by --prefix=... or LDFLAGS=...
make
make check
  • write some documentation in Texinfo: 
 cd doc
 wget -O fdl.texi http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/gnustandards/fdl.texi?root=gnustand
ards&content-type=text%2Fplain
 touch manual.texi #and edit
