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.

    @TomKerr: We don't tell the folks learning C to use Java instead, and we don't tell people asking about SVN to use Git instead. Please restrict such commentary to your blog. – Dietrich Epp Dec 02 '11 at 22:17

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.

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