A GNU implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor.
|
|
|
|
|
M4 is useful for writing text files which can be logically parsed, and is used by many programs as part of their build process.
|
|
|
|
|
M4 has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
The autoconf program needs m4 for generating configure scripts, but not for running configure scripts.

Install m4 if you need a macro processor.
