# amr(1)

automake replacement

## NAME

**amr** – automake replacement

## SYNOPSIS

**amr** \[**-acmrshv**\]

## DESCRIPTION

AMR allows you to autogenerate sample/final Makefiles. This allows you to maintain all the makefiles of your project in a simple and centralized way. You'll probably need to use AMR for the initial port to acr for you applications.

AMR is on early and experimental stage. So you'll probably find a lot of problems, bugs and missfeatures. Please feel free to documentate, and send patches and ideas for it.

## USAGE

AMR allows you to create different kind autogenerated ACR files: configure.amr, configure.acr, Makefile.acr.

- **-a**

  Scan source code files recursively from the current directory and generates a configure.amr. Is recommended to run this command for each directory where you have source files. (acr -d)

- **-c**

  Parses the configure.amr and prints out a sample configure.acr.

- **-d**

  Reads the configure.amr and prints the directories where you'll need to run amr. You can easily automate this process in autogen.sh

- **-m**

  Parses configure.amr to generate the Makefile.acr

- **-s**

  Generate shellscripts instead of Makefiles.

- **-r**

  Show report.

- **-h**

  Show help message.

- **-v**

  Prints the version number of AMR.
