About:
UtilMacros provides a comprehensive collection of pre-built autoconf macros specifically designed for the X.Org project. These macros standardize common build system tasks, such as checking for dependencies and setting compiler flags. This package is essential for developers building X.Org libraries and applications, ensuring consistent and efficient configuration across the entire ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Standardized autoconf macros for X.Org builds
  • Simplifies dependency checking and configuration
  • Ensures build system consistency across packages
  • Reduces boilerplate code in configure.ac files
Use Cases:
  • Developing new X.Org drivers or libraries
  • Maintaining build systems for existing X.Org software
  • Cross-compiling X11 components for different architectures
Alternatives:
  • Manual Autoconf Scripts – UtilMacros offers a standardized, reusable set of macros, whereas manual scripts require reinventing common configuration logic for each project.
