AUTOMAKE !!!AUTOMAKE NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHORS ---- !!NAME automake - automatically create Makefile.in's from Makefile.am's !!SYNOPSIS __automake__ [[ __-a__ | __--add-missing__ ] [[ __--amdir=__DIR ] [[ __--build-dir=__DIR ] [[ __--cygnus__ ] [[ __--foreign__ ] [[ __--gnits__ ] [[ __--gnu__ ] [[ __--help__ ] [[ __-i__ | __--include-deps__ ] [[ __--no-force__ ] [[ __-o__ DIR ] [[ __--output-dir=__DIR ] [[ __--srcdir-name=__DIR ] [[ __-v__ | __--verbose__ ] [[ __--version__ ] !!DESCRIPTION To create all the __Makefile.in__s for a package, run the __automake__ program in the top level directory, with no arguments. __automake__ will automatically find each appropriate __Makefile.am__ (by scanning __configure.in__) and generate the corresponding __Makefile.in__. Note that __automake__ has a rather simplistic view of what constitutes a package; it assumes that a package has only one __configure.in__, at the top. If your package has multiple __configure.in__s, then you must run __automake__ in each directory holding a __configure.in__. You can optionally give __automake__ an argument; __.am__ is appended to the argument and the result is used as the name of the input file. This feature is generally only used to automatically rebuild an out-of-date __Makefile.in__. Note that __automake__ must always be run from the topmost directory of a project, even if being used to regenerate the __Makefile.in__ in some subdirectory. This is necessary because __automake__ must scan __configure.in__, and because __automake__ uses the knowledge that a __Makefile.in__ is in a subdirectory to change its behavior in some cases. __automake__ accepts the following options: __-a__ __--add-missing__ Automake requires certain common files to exist in certain situations; for instance __config.guess__ is required if __configure.in__ runs __AC_CANONICAL_HOST__. Automake is distributed with several of these files; this option will cause the missing ones to be automatically added to the package, whenever possible. In general if Automake tells you a file is missing, try using this option. __--amdir=__DIR Look for Automake data files in directory DIR instead of in the installation directory. This is typically used for debugging. __--build-dir=__DIR Tell Automake where the build directory is. This option is used when including dependencies into a __Makefile.in__ generated by __make dist__; it should not be used otherwise. __--cygnus__ Causes the generated __Makefile.in__s to follow Cygnus rules, instead of GNU or Gnits rules. __--foreign__ Set the global strictness to __foreign__. __--gnits__ Set the global strictness to __gnits__. __--gnu__ Set the global strictness to __gnu__. This is the default strictness. __--help__ Print a summary of the command line options and exit. __-i__ __--include-deps__ Include all automatically generated dependency information in the generated __Makefile.in__. This is generally done when making a distribution. __--no-force__ Ordinarily __automake__ creates all __Makefile.in__s mentioned in __configure.in__. This option causes it to only update those __Makefile.in__s which are out of date with respect to one of their dependents. __-o__ DIR __--output-dir=__DIR Put the generated __Makefile.in__ in the directory DIR. Ordinarily each __Makefile.in__ is created in the directory of the corresponding __Makefile.am__. This option is used when making distributions. __--srcdir-name=__DIR Tell Automake the name of the source directory associated with the current build. This option is used when including dependencies into a __Makefile.in__ generated by __make__dist__;__ it should not be used otherwise. __-v__ __--verbose__ Cause Automake to print information about which files are being read or created. __--version__ Print the version number of Automake and exit. !!SEE ALSO aclocal(1), and the Texinfo documentation for automake !!AUTHORS Automake was written primarily by David Mackenzie and Tom Tromey.
