GNU Template Generation Tools

Challenge

Two sentences describe the situation at the end of the last century:

• The development of applications with GNU autoconf / automake doesn't seem to be as easy as possible.
• There doesn't exist a full elaborated automatically generated example being already as most as possible prepared for the goals of a GNU programmer.

In this situation we offer the GNU Template Generation Tools - abbreviated as gtgt, spoken as gittee gittee and published under the GNU General Public License

Solution

gitty-gitty ...

the (general | GNU) template generation tools, are a set of scripts for creating a whole set of sources which may already be compiled and installed using the GNU development tools. Think of gtgt as a program which ...

is able to generate an already compilable ...

very sophisticated "hello world" program, written in C or C++ and constituted by a main program, two internal modules (classes), one static and one shared library and one shellscript. All these sources exept the shellscript contain a full set of possible doxygen-comments. And this complex documented "Hello World" is already ...

fully embedded into GNU autoconf/automake, ...

the GNU development environment. By using gitty-gitty, you will get a ...

template of sources

for the main cases you might meet, and which you can also use as (teaching) examples for c/c++, doxygen, automake, autoconf, etc.
