In this pull request I added support for using autotools as building system, it helps to create a cross-platform way to link to libraries using
pkg-configand internal macros to find the libraries and check if they are linking correctly.I also simplified the process of generating the dependency tree and the makefile itself using only a root
Makefile.amandconfigure.acwhich will be compiled using autotools.You can see a working example in colab https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1buOCDw86kZ0Reux8l3ZCRlTvF2JdIBuq. Basically the user only needs to do:
autoreconf; automake --add-missing && autoreconf./configure./makeThen it will already compile everything. I tested both in windows MinGW and Ubuntu and it is working using the same base script. I could use help to test with other platforms to check if it will work. I will try to update the .github actions accordingly to check if it will work too.
