NAME
autoreconf - Update generated configuration files
SYNOPSIS
autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]
DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' and `autoheader' 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 environment variables AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER are honored.
