what is "autotools" about in laymen terms?

This is a decent overview:

http://voices.canonical.com/jussi.pakkanen/2011/09/13/autotools/ Essentially it doubles down on a poorly designed system in order toallow important features that the original system wasn't designed to address.  But it is widely used, mainly because there aren't any better alternatives. -Jonathan

i can confirm this on linux. on a german keyboard layout, one of the test-releases did zoom with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>+</kbd>, but in the final release it has become <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>=</kbd> :-(

maybe. i think that the current behaviour is more confusing (for those affected) than the old one, because:

• on a US keyboard layout '+' and '=' are on the same key; needing a

modifier key (or not) is slightly annoying at best: at least you are already pressing the correct key.

• on a GE keyboard layout '+' is usually besides the [return] key, but

'=' is 'Shift'+'0', which is about 3 keys away from the '+' and has absolutely no hint that this is supposed to be the "right" key.

furthermore, the Menu should not say "Ctrl++" if it really means "Ctrl+=".

Dear all,

Dan your autotools update is great. I installed all with no problem. Moreover I done make app; great news!

Some general observation on OS X compilation: I get several warnings, like: a) libtool: warning: libobj name 'pd~.lo' may not contain shell special characters. b) pm_mac/readbinaryplist.c:87:9: warning: 'MAXPATHLEN' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined]

I think it means, as per IOhannes’ mail, that we should bind to both + and =. That’s what the web browsers do to get around this problem. Sorry it didn’t occur to me with my US-centric keyboard mentality ;P

I will, however, reiterate that Shift and + is awkward and unneeded on the US keyboard. :)
