When AutoGen is installed, the AutoOpts project is installed with it. AutoOpts includes various AutoGen templates and a pair of shared libraries. These libraries may be used under the terms of version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
One of these libraries (libopts
) is needed by programs that are built
using AutoOpts generated code. This library is available as a separate
“tear-off” source tarball. It is redistributable for use under either of
two licenses: The above mentioned GNU Lesser General Public License, and
the advertising-clause-free BSD license. Both of these license terms are
incorporated into appropriate COPYING files included with the libopts
source tarball. This source may be incorporated into your package with
the following simple commands:
rm -rf libopts libopts-* gunzip -c `autoopts-config libsrc` | \ tar -xvf - mv libopts-*.*.* libopts
View the libopts/README file for further integration information.
