Scientific paper

The Starlink software collection currently runs on three different Unix platforms and contains around 100 separate software items, totaling 2.5 million lines of code, in a mixture of languages. We have changed the build system from a hand-maintained collection of makefiles with hard-wired OS variants to a scheme involving feature-discovery via GNU Autoconf.
As a result of this work, we have already ported the collection to Mac OS X and Cygwin. This had some unexpected benefits and costs, and valuable lessons.
