[ale] VC++ to regular C++

[Justin Simms]

Yes, but it is not so bad. You can do the following:

1. create a new directory which will hold your source files
2. create a Makefile.am which looks like this:
    bin_Programs = <program_name>
    <program_name>_SOURCES = <your_source_files>
    <program_name>_CXXFLAGS = -g
3. Next, run 'autoscan' in the directory. Then run 'mv configure.scan
configure.ac'
4. Next, edit the configure.ac file:
    remove AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
    add AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE after AC_PROG_CXX
5. Save the file and exit out of your editor back to the command line
6. Next, run 'aclocal'
7. Next, run 'autoconf'
8. Next, run 'automake --add-missing'
    For each file that it says it cannot find , run 'touch <FILENAME>'
9. run 'automake' again... This time it should not complain.
10. Next, run './configure'
11. Next, run make

At this point your executable should be built.

If this is not clear, I would be more than happy to explain any part of it.
