!!NAME


autoconf2.13 - creates scripts to configure source code packages using templates
!!SYNOPSIS


__autoconf2.13__ [[ __--help__ | __-h__ ] [[
__--localdir=dir__ | __-l dir__ ] [[
__--macrodir=dir__ | __-m dir__ ] [[ __--version__
]
!!DESCRIPTION


To create __configure__ from __configure.in__, run the
__autoconf2.13__ program with no arguments.
__autoconf2.13__ processes __configure.in__ with the
__m4__ macro processor, using the Autoconf macros. If you
give __autoconf2.13__ an argument, it reads that file
instead of __configure.in__ and writes the configuration
script to the standard output instead of to
__configure__. If you give __autoconf2.13__ the
argument __-__, it reads the standard input instead of
__configure.in__ and writes the configuration script on
the standard output.


The Autoconf macros are defined in several files. Some of
the files are distributed with Autoconf; __autoconf2.13__
reads them first. Then it looks for the optional file
__acsite.m4__ in the directory that contains the
distributed Autoconf macro files, and for the optional file
__aclocal.m4__ in the current directory. Those files can
contain your site's or the package's own Autoconf macro
definitions. If a macro is defined in more than one of the
files that __autoconf2.13__ reads, the last definition it
reads overrides the earlier ones.


__autoconf2.13__ accepts the following
options:


__--help__


__-h__


Print a summary of the command line options and
exit.


__--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.


__--version__


Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
