Prerequisites
- All the language data files:
- Monolingual dictionaries
- Bilingual dictionary
- Transfer rule files
- modes file
The general steps
You need a Makefile.am which contains the build rules, and a configure.ac which contains the dependencies.
The configure.ac I would just take from an existing package. They're all pretty much the same.
The Makefile.am really depends on your configuration. E.g.
- Bidirectional?
- Variants?
- 3-level or 1-level transfer?
Mandatory files for autotools: NEWS README ChangeLog AUTHORS COPYING
