The Automake package contains programs for generating Makefiles for use with Autoconf.
Prepare Automake for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/automake-1.16.5
Compile the package:
make
Using four parallel jobs speeds up the tests, even on systems with less logical cores, due to internal delays in individual tests. To test the results, issue:
make -j$(($(nproc)>4?$(nproc):4))
check
Replace $((...))
with the
number of logical cores you want to use if you don't want to use
all.
Out of 2926 tests, 52 are known to fail due to incompatibilities in the test scripts with gcc-14.1 or later.
Install the package:
make install
