How to add a new ctool¶

Follow the steps below to add a new ctool:

step into src and copy an existing ctool, e.g. cp -r ctselect ctnewtool
step into the new direction (here cd ctnewtool) and rename all files to the new names
adapt the Makefile.am to the new names
go back to src and add the new tool in Makefile.am: add a line to SUBDIRS with the name of the new subdirectory, and add the corresponding library to libctools_la_LIBADD
go to the ctools root directory and add a entry to AC_CONFIG_FILES list in the configure.ac script (at the end of the section) (here the entry to be added would be src/ctnewtool/Makefile
now regenerate the configuration and Makefiles using ./autogen.sh
then reconfigure using ./configure
now build using make
