-nesting-autotools
-=================
+This [autotools](http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/automake/manual/html_node/index.html) project shows how to use other existing autotools packages in a new autotools package.
 
-Nesting autotools packages
+## What is for?
+
+To test my ability creating GNU/Linux redistributable packages.
+
+# The requirements
+
+ 1. Use log4cpp as the application logger
+ 2. Save 101 records in a sqlite database at the same time using 101 threads
+ 3. Do not use system libraries for log4cpp and sqlite3
+ 4. Once stored, print the records with the format
+     <xml><inicio indice=numIndice>HolaMundo</inicio>,...</xml>
+ 5. Create an Autotools redistributable package
+ 6. Write a HOWTO
+
+# Starting
+
+Create the nesting-autotools repository at GitHub initialized with a README.md an clone it.
+
+    git clone https://github.com/vicnala/nesting-autotools.git
+    cd nesting-autotools

+
+## Set-up the development environment
+
+First install the necessary system tools. If you use Debian-like distributions:
+
+    sudo apt-get install build-essential
+    sudo apt-get install automake autoconf libtool
+
+Now, we need to edit 4 files to handle all the project needs. Run these commands to create the source tree:
+
+    mkdir src
+    touch autogen.sh configure.ac Makefile.am
+    touch src/Makefile.am src/main.cpp
+    git add .
+    git commit -a
+
+to get this _project tree_:
+
+    nesting-autotools
+    ├── autogen.sh
+    ├── configure.ac
+    ├── Makefile.am
+    ├── README.md
+    └── src
+        ├── main.cpp
+        └── Makefile.am
