AUTOCONF !!!AUTOCONF NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO AUTHORS ---- !!NAME autoscan - help to create a configure.ac file for a software package !!SYNOPSIS __autoscan__ [[ __--help__ | __-h__ ] [[ __--version__ | __-V__ ] [[ __--verbose__ | __-v__ ] [[ __--autoconf-dir=__''dir'' | __-A__ ''dir'' ] !!DESCRIPTION The __autoscan__ program can help you create a __configure.ac__ file for a software package. __autoscan__ examines source files in the directory tree rooted at a directory given as a command line argument, or the current directory if none is given. It searches the source files for common portability problems and creates a file __configure.scan__ which is a preliminary __configure.ac__ for that package. You should manually examine __configure.scan__ before renaming it to __configure.ac__; it will probably need some adjustments. Occasionally __autoscan__ outputs a macro in the wrong order relative to another macro, so that __autoconf__ produces a warning; you need to move such macros manually. Also, if you want the package to use a configuration header file, you must add a call to __AC_CONFIG_HEADER__. You might also have to change or add some __#if__ directives to your program in order to make it work with Autoconf (see ifnames(1)), for information about a program that can help with that job). __autoscan__ uses several data files, which are installed along with the distributed Autoconf macro files, to determine which macros to output when it finds particular symbols in a package's source files. These files all have the same format. Each line consists of a symbol, whitespace, and the Autoconf macro to output if that symbol is encountered. Lines starting with __#__ are comments. __autoscan__ requires that a Perl interpreter is installed. __autoscan__ accepts the following options: __--help__ __-h__ Print a summary of the command line options and exit. __--version__ __-V__ Print the version number of Autoconf and exit. __--verbose__ __-v__ Report processing steps. __--autoconf-dir=__''dir'' __-A__ ''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. !!SEE ALSO autoconf(1), autoheader(1), autoreconf(1), autoupdate(1), ifnames(1) !!AUTHORS David !MacKenzie, with help from Franc,ois Pinard, Karl Berry, Richard Pixley, Ian Lance Taylor, Roland !McGrath, Noah Friedman, David D.
