SYNOPSIS
autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal' and `automake', where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the Autoconf `configure' scripts and configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted at the current directory. By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their predecessors. If you install a new version of Autoconf, running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files by giving it the `--force' option.Operation modes:
- -h, --help
- print this help, then exit
- -V, --version
- print version number, then exit
- -v, --verbose
- verbosely report processing
- -d, --debug
- don't remove temporary files
- -f, --force
- consider every files are obsolete
- -i, --install
- copy missing auxiliary files
- -s, --symlink
- instead of copying, install symbolic links
The option `--install' is similar to the option `--add-missing' in other tools.
Library directories:
- -A, --autoconf-dir=ACDIR
- Autoconf's macro files location (rarely needed)
- -l, --localdir=DIR
- location of `aclocal.m4' and `acconfig.h'
- -M, --m4dir=M4DIR
- this package's Autoconf extensions
Unless specified, heuristics try to compute `M4DIR' from the `Makefile.am', or defaults to `m4' if it exists.
The following options are passed to `automake':
- --cygnus
- assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree
- --foreign
- set strictness to foreign
- --gnits
- set strictness to gnits
- --gnu
- set strictness to gnu
- --include-deps
- include generated dependencies in Makefile.in
The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and ACLOCAL are honored.
