DESCRIPTION
If you have a lot of Autoconf-generated
configure
scripts, the
autoreconf2.13
program can save you some work. It runs
autoconf2.13
(and
autoheader2.13,
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
configure.in
or (if present)
aclocal.m4.
Since
autoheader2.13
does not change the timestamp of its
output file if the file wouldn't be changing, this is not necessarily
the minimum amount of work. If you install a new version of Autoconf,
you can make
autoreconf2.13
remake
all
of the files by giving it the
--force
option.
If you give
autoreconf2.13
the
--macrodir=DIR
or
--localdir=DIR
options, it passes them down to
autoconf2.13
and
autoheader2.13
(with
relative paths adjusted properly).
autoreconf2.13
does not support having, in the same directory tree,
both directories that are parts of a larger package (sharing
aclocal.m4
and
acconfig.h),
and directories that are independent
packages (each with their own
aclocal.m4
and
acconfig.h).
It
assumes that they are all part of the same package, if you use
--localdir,
or that each directory is a separate package, if you
don't use it. This restriction may be removed in the future.
autoreconf2.13
accepts the following options:
- --help
-
- -h
-
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
- --force
-
- -f
-
Remake even
configure
scripts and configuration headers that are
newer than their input files
(configure.in
and, if present,
aclocal.m4).
- --localdir=DIR
-
- -l DIR
-
Look for the package file
aclocal.m4
in directory DIR instead of
in the current directory.
- --macrodir=DIR
-
- -m DIR
-
Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR. You can also
set the
AC_MACRODIR
environment variable to a directory; this
option overrides the environment variable.
- --verbose
-
Print the name of each directory where
autoreconf2.13
runs
autoconf2.13
(and
autoheader2.13,
if appropriate).
- --version
-
Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
