autoconf yes, but Makefiles, no. I'll write a new Makefile from scratch maybe once a year or so.

  If you use autoconf, why not use also automake?

    If you've already shot yourself in the foot, why not also shoot yourself in the face?

      Because if you write your own Makefile instead of using automake, you'll get shot in the face by a distro package maintainer when you forget to obey DESTDIR, CC, CFLAGS, etc. like every packaging tool expects to use.

    I don't use autoconf myself. If I did, I'd definitely copy it from an existing project.
