Can anyone suggest a really good tutorial for using autoconf and automake?

I found several, but only one (linked below) made a good effort at explaining
what each stage was doing and, having worked my way through it, ultimately it
failed and the tutorial did not help me resolve them nor was I able to work out
what I needed to do to resolve the errors I was getting.

http://mij.oltrelinux.com/devel/autoconf-automake/

Here's hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.

Thanks all.

Thanks, though I was looking for a tutorial rather than the documentation, I
need help with the process.

I noticed on this page:

http://www.seul.org/docs/autotut/

in 'Figure 1 - File Input/Output Graph' that a config.h is generated. My C
source code actually has a config.h file - will this conflict with the GNU
'Auto' generation process? Should I rename my config.h file?

Thanks.

Short answer: for the sake of learning autotools, yes, rename it.

Cheers, Ralph

Thanks, ok I will. I think that may be where I went wrong with my original
tutorial. :)

Don't bother pointing me in the direction of another tutorial, I'll retry the
one I used before with a renamed config.h file.

Cheers.
