Re: What IDEs support autoconf-based projects ?

[Peter Lee]

Thank you Alfred M. Szmidt,

I am confirming with you on my awareness of
"Automake, and autoconf are just plain text
files, you don't need a complex IDE to edit them.  The documentation
is also very easy to navigate"

But, my question is:
"If I want to work on the GNU Hello project, which can be downloaded
  at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.4.tar.gz, what IDEs can I
  use to import the project and export it as deployable project(
  configure->make) after some dependency and code changes?"

To clarify, I am not asking a question for comparing IDEs with other tools.

Thank you for any helpful suggestion.
