Autotools (<code class="filename">autoconf</code>, <code class="filename">automake</code>,
and <code class="filename">libtool</code>) bring standardization.
This class defines a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that
work for all Autotooled packages.
It should usually be enough to define a few standard variables
and then simply <code class="filename">inherit autotools</code>.
This class can also work with software that emulates Autotools.
For more information, see the
"<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools.html" target="_self">Autotooled Package</a>"
section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.
</p>
<p>
It's useful to have some idea of how the tasks defined by this class work
and what they do behind the scenes.

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="filename">do_configure</code> &#8208; regenerates the
configure script (using <code class="filename">autoreconf</code>) and then launches it
with a standard set of arguments used during cross-compilation.
You can pass additional parameters to <code class="filename">configure</code> through the
<code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-EXTRA_OECONF" title="EXTRA_OECONF">EXTRA_OECONF</a></code> variable.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="filename">do_compile</code> &#8208; runs <code class="filename">make</code> with
arguments that specify the compiler and linker.
You can pass additional arguments through
the <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-EXTRA_OEMAKE" title="EXTRA_OEMAKE">EXTRA_OEMAKE</a></code> variable.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="filename">do_install</code> &#8208; runs <code class="filename">make install</code>
and passes a DESTDIR option, which takes its value from the standard
<code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-DESTDIR" title="DESTDIR">DESTDIR</a></code> variable.
