新建文件夹Demo

新建源码文件夹src

新建main.c

初始目录:

main.c
➜  Demo ls -F src . 
.:
Makefile.am  src/

src:
main.c

执行命令

cat /src/main.c

#include <config.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{
  puts ("Hello World!");
  return 0;
}

autoscan
cat configure.ac

➜  Demo cat configure.ac 
#                                               -*- Autoconf -*-
