-\section build_old_autotools Building Using Old Autotools Method

-As of version 3.5, we have moved to using Cmake as the default,
-preferred build system. If for some reason, Cmake fails on your
-system, GNU Radio still includes the old autotools build process as a
-parallel build method. To build:
-
-\code
-$ cd $(srcdir)
-$ ./bootstrap // only if not building from a tarball
-$ cd $(builddir)
-$ $(srcdir)/configure [options]
-$ make [-jN]
-$ make check
-$ sudo make install
