Building with autotools
..............................................................................
**libinput no longer supports building with autotools.** These
instructions are kept for users for libinput versions up to 1.8.x.
A build with automake is usually the process below. A successful build
requires the :ref:`building_dependencies` to be installed at configure
time.

$> cd libinput
$> ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

.. note:: On Debian-based distributions including Ubuntu and its derivatives skip the
``--libdir=/usr/lib64`` argument.
