Convert an autotools project to CMake

Hi there

• 🔭 I’m currently working on some fun with math: http://funkplot.sh

Some older, but still fun projects:

• 💀 A maze game: https://dungeons.sh
• 🍲 A recipe book from home: http://transylvanian.recipes
• 🔗 A personal file sharing site: https://cloudy.sh

Some articles I wrote over the time

When time permits I publish in ACCU's Overload magazine. Here are some of my articles:

• Attacking Licensing Problems with C++
• Open Source - And Still Deceiving Programmers
• Practical Cryptographical Theory for Programmers
• miso: Micro Signal/Slot Implementation
• The Edge of C++

Help with development

Keeping all the servers above online has its recurring monthly cost, all help is much appreciated.

Consider distribute this project under an open-source license

Thank you for this great project!

This project doesn't include a LICENSE file or any information about the license it is distributed under, meaning that it is "all rights reserved". That is, no one except you are legally allowed to download and use it.

It's quite easy to add a license -- just follow the GitHub documentation and add a LICENSE file to this repository.

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository

Here's a website created by by GitHub that helps people choose a license:
https://choosealicense.com/

Some licenses I have heard of (from the most permissive to the most copy-left):

• BSD0: Permit everyone to use, modify, and redistribute it freely without any limitation.

• MIT License: Permit everyone to use, modify, and redistrimute it freely as long as they give credit to you by mentioning your name (attribution).

• GNU LGPL: Permit everyone to use, modify, and redistribute it, but requiring the redistributed program to open source and license under GNU LGPL or GNU GPL.

• GNU GPL: Similar to GNU LGPL, but requires programs that uses this project as a library to also open source and license under GNU GPL.

Document create comments

Please document the "create comment" switch.

for the "#created with auto2cmake..." stuff.

It may be obvious for the most,
but should be fine to mentioned in --help too.

Autocmake python script works with error

Hi, I'm transfering a automake project(vermaseren/form) to cmake project with this auto2cmake.py script. I'm put this Python File to the form project folder and run directly(no any changes in auto2cmake.py), the terminal console returns error like this:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./auto2cmake.py", line 1647, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "./auto2cmake.py", line 1641, in main
    convert()
  File "./auto2cmake.py", line 1466, in convert
    process_configure_ac(configure_ac)
  File "./auto2cmake.py", line 997, in process_configure_ac
    current_line = content[i].strip()
 IndexError: list index out of range

Is this error generated by no pre-setup or anything else? I'm not very sure how to use this convert tool.

P.S. Tested on windows 11 and linux platform.

Thanks
