20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 To create __configure__ from __configure.in__, run the
24 __autoconf2.13__ program with no arguments.
25 __autoconf2.13__ processes __configure.in__ with the
26 __m4__ macro processor, using the Autoconf macros. If you
27 give __autoconf2.13__ an argument, it reads that file
28 instead of __configure.in__ and writes the configuration
29 script to the standard output instead of to
30 __configure__. If you give __autoconf2.13__ the
31 argument __-__, it reads the standard input instead of
32 __configure.in__ and writes the configuration script on
33 the standard output.
34
35
36 The Autoconf macros are defined in several files. Some of
37 the files are distributed with Autoconf; __autoconf2.13__
38 reads them first. Then it looks for the optional file
39 __acsite.m4__ in the directory that contains the
40 distributed Autoconf macro files, and for the optional file
41 __aclocal.m4__ in the current directory. Those files can
42 contain your site's or the package's own Autoconf macro
43 definitions. If a macro is defined in more than one of the
44 files that __autoconf2.13__ reads, the last definition it
45 reads overrides the earlier ones.
46
47
48 __autoconf2.13__ accepts the following
49 options:
50
51
52 __--help__
53
54
55 __-h__
56
57
58 Print a summary of the command line options and
59 exit.
60
61
62 __--localdir=DIR__
63
64
65 __-l DIR__
66
67
68 Look for the package file __aclocal.m4__ in directory DIR
69 instead of in the current directory.
70
71
72 __--macrodir=DIR__
73
74
75 __-m DIR__
76
77
78 Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR. You can
79 also set the __AC_MACRODIR__ environment variable to a
80 directory; this option overrides the environment
81 variable.
82
83
84 __--version__
85
86
87 Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
