NAME
autoupdate2.13 - updates an old configure.in file to version 2
SYNOPSIS
autoconf2.13
[
--help
|
-h
] [
--macrodir=dir
|
-m dir
] [
--version
]
DESCRIPTION
The
autoupdate2.13
program updates a
configure.in
file that calls
Autoconf macros by their old names to use the current macro names. In
version 2 of Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a more
uniform and descriptive naming scheme. Although the old names still
work , you can make your
configure.in
files more readable and make
it easier to use the current Autoconf documentation if you update them
to use the new macro names.
If given no arguments,
autoupdate2.13
updates
configure.in,
backing up
the original version with the suffix
~
(or the value of the
environment variable
SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX,
if that is set). If you
give
autoupdate2.13
an argument, it reads that file instead of
configure.in
and writes the updated file to the standard output.
autoconf2.13
accepts the following options:
- --help
-
- -h
-
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
- --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.
- --version
-
Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
