# Versions of Auto Tools

OpenSC should work for every developer. One software is very tricky: autoconf, automake and libtool. Which version can we require? Unfortunatly the only way we can find out is trial and error. To improve the situation, we would like to gather which version everyone is using, so we can make sure even the oldest version of these tools still in use works (and hope that newer versions work, too).

Name | Distribution | Autoconf | Automake | Libtool
Andreas Jellinghaus | Debian sarge | 2.59 | 1.7.9 | 1.5.6
Ludovic Rousseau | Debian sarge | 2.59 | 1.9.5 | 1.5.6

Ludovic Rousseau: Note that if you distribute the created `.tar.gz` file you should always use the latest autotools versions in order to support the newly added architectures/OS. That will greatly ease the life of your users.
