This page exists to provide information and access to a TextMate bundle that was developed here at Blackbridge Software to assist us in our development cycle with the GNU Autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.) We use these tools all the time as they provide one of the most robust build environments around, especially when you are doing cross-platform software development.
Well this is simply a TextMate Bundle that provides an interface for building, running, and installing projects that use the GNU Autotools to manage their build process. This simply eliminates the need for us to move to the command line to build, or run make, or any of the other various steps we perform throughout the development process. Keep in mind that this is specifically designed to help us with cross-platform development as that is what our primary focus is.
You can download the following zip file, unzip it, and simply double click the bundle in finder and it will install it in your TextMate installation for you.
The following is a listing of all the features that our TextMate GNU Autotools Bundle provides:
Beyond the above features the TextMate Autotools Bundle also provides language support for a ChangeLog format that we used for a while before switching to Git as our SCM. These features include the following:
For more info please download, install the bundle and go to its help section. It has a fully documented help section that explains each of the features as well as any custom configurations you might be interested in. If after that you still have questions feel free to contact me.
