# Supported Environments

While the Autotools should work on any Unix-based system, it has only been tested on Linux (note that it is part of the Linux Tools project). OS-specific bugs or problems that are not reproducible on Linux may require a user work-around. For example, users of Cygwin or MinGW may require setting modifications to get the plug-in working for their project. The Autotools plug-in is not supported under a regular Windows environment (i.e. without Cygwin or MinGW).

To use the Autotools plug-in, it is required that you have the CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) already installed in Eclipse, the GNU Autotools installed on your system, and the "sh" (shell) command must be available. The "sh" command is required to invoke the configure script.
