Thank you everyone for the replies.
Yes I had a look at the autobook, and I have written some M4 code, but I am still looking for an easy way to do that as I still dont feel really easy using it.
And I dont want to start a troll here, but I had a look at many build systems (Scons, CMake, nant, etc. ) and I think the autotools are the more broadcasted build utilities around, because I am using some different flavour of BSD, Linux, and windows, and I can find autotools in every of my packages system..., even in MSYS :-)
That is why I want to keep using that.
My problem is not only building my project, but find out which library are installed, where, and build my project with the right options... even If I keep using the same compiler all the time (gcc)
So it looks like I may need to write a plugin to generate the autotools files and to start a new project only by reading those files... someday ^^ when I become an autotools and C::B poweruser :lol: Hard work I guess...
Thank you again for the help.
