How to move from autoconf?

Say I want to build strace with build... strace uses autoconf, so what would be the steps to get there?

This is not the simplest case, because it builds a number of intermediate files, and it is very Linux dependent, so the autoconf part is somewhat strange.

I’m looking into it. Here is what I am doing:

• Start with Makefile.am to identify sources

• This is a multi-stage build, with a library and an exe, which Build deals with this using ‘VARIANTS=“, which lets you build multiple independent things in a single makefile.

• Search in the source for all HAVE_xxxx, and add checks for that in CONFIG=

There are some checks that I don’t have yet :-)
