I have yet to use it (I’m still doing the autotools setup by hand; but
that’s mostly because my Guile tools are mostly wisp so I need custom
stuff), but yes: having autotools autogenerated is extremely valuable.
If you have automated autotools setup - something that just works - it’s
like all those project-setup tools other languages have (Java with
Maven, Javascript with npm, Rust with cargo, Go …), but with the
difference that it works everywhere.
I have used several different build tools in the past, and once you
stray even slightly outside the usual path, autotools (with all its
cludginess) still outdoes them all.
Sidenote: Does guile hall setup help for Make?
