Trevor Woerner 5b7562f2de update the build system to use autotools ... The autotool system provides a high-level way of specifying what to build, and then generates Makefile templates based on these requirements as well as a way of generating Makefiles at build time based on what it finds at build time (i.e. specifics about the system on which it is being built), and configuration options set by the user at build time. The nice thing about autotools is that it better encapsulates distro-specific "gotchas" that make it hard to create a Makefile by hand which will work on a wide range of different versions of various UNIX distributions. It also includes built-in support for out-of-tree build (VPATH), cross-development, and DESTDIR installs. These generated Makefiles automatically include support for a wide range of 'make' targets such as: make, make clean, make install, make uninstall, make check, make distclean, make dist, make strip, make distcheck, etc. These targets make it easier to follow the "Makefile Conventions" of "The Release Process" from the "GNU Coding Standards" (https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Makefile-Conventions.html).
