20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 If you have a lot of Autoconf-generated __configure__
24 scripts, the __autoreconf2.13__ program can save you some
25 work. It runs __autoconf2.13__ (and
26 __autoheader2.13__, where appropriate) repeatedly to
27 remake the Autoconf __configure__ scripts and
28 configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted
29 at the current directory. By default, it only remakes those
30 files that are older than their __configure.in__ or (if
31 present) __aclocal.m4__. Since __autoheader2.13__ does
32 not change the timestamp of its output file if the file
33 wouldn't be changing, this is not necessarily the minimum
34 amount of work. If you install a new version of Autoconf,
35 you can make __autoreconf2.13__ remake ''all'' of the
36 files by giving it the __--force__ option.
37
38
39 If you give __autoreconf2.13__ the __--macrodir=DIR__
40 or __--localdir=DIR__ options, it passes them down to
41 __autoconf2.13__ and __autoheader2.13__ (with relative
42 paths adjusted properly).
43
44
45 __autoreconf2.13__ does not support having, in the same
46 directory tree, both directories that are parts of a larger
47 package (sharing __aclocal.m4__ and __acconfig.h__),
48 and directories that are independent packages (each with
49 their own __aclocal.m4__ and __acconfig.h__). It
50 assumes that they are all part of the same package, if you
51 use __--localdir__, or that each directory is a separate
52 package, if you don't use it. This restriction may be
53 removed in the future.
54
55
56 __autoreconf2.13__ accepts the following
57 options:
58
59
60 __--help__
61
62
63 __-h__
64
65
66 Print a summary of the command line options and
67 exit.
68
69
70 __--force__
71
72
73 __-f__
74
75
76 Remake even __configure__ scripts and configuration
77 headers that are newer than their input files
78 (__configure.in__ and, if present,
79 __aclocal.m4__).
80
81
82 __--localdir=DIR__
83
84
85 __-l DIR__
86
87
88 Look for the package file __aclocal.m4__ in directory DIR
89 instead of in the current directory.
90
91
92 __--macrodir=DIR__
93
94
95 __-m DIR__
96
97
98 Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR. You can
99 also set the __AC_MACRODIR__ environment variable to a
100 directory; this option overrides the environment
101 variable.
102
103
104 __--verbose__
105
106
107 Print the name of each directory where __autoreconf2.13__
108 runs __autoconf2.13__ (and __autoheader2.13__, if
109 appropriate).
110
111
112 __--version__
113
114
115 Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
