Getting started with autotools 

I am trying to use autotools to compile C and C++ files included.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to some documentation on how to do this?
Thanks.

A: First, if you are integrating C and C++, remember that you are building a C++ project with some C compatible symbols exported.  If that statement doesn't make a lot of sense to you, the better explanation is found here.
There are many good autoconf tutorials.  Start off small, and don't be afraid to peek into other open-source projects for hints and tips as to how they solved making some library easily configurable.

A: I heard about Cmake recently, looks like it's a great tool, KDE switched to using it.
