8.18 Algol 68 Support

Automake includes support for Algol 68, using GCC.

Any package including Algol 68 code must define the output variable A68 in configure.ac; the simplest way to do this is to use the AC_PROG_A68 macro (see Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual).

A few additional variables are defined when an Algol 68 source file is seen:

A68

The name of the Algol 68 compiler.

A68FLAGS

Any flags to pass to the Algol 68 compiler.

AM_A68FLAGS

The maintainer’s variant of A68FLAGS.

A68COMPILE

The command used to compile an Algol 68 source file. The file name is appended to form the complete command line.

A68LINK

The command used to link a pure Algol 68 program or shared library.
