NAME

autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS

autoreconf [ OPTION ] ... [ TEMPLATE-FILE ]

DESCRIPTION

Run ‘autoconf’ and ‘autoheader’ where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the Autoconf ‘configure’ scripts and configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted at the current directory.

By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their predecessors. If you install a new version of Autoconf, running ‘autoreconf’ remakes all of the files by giving it the ‘--force’ option.

Operation modes:

-h , --help

print this help, then exit

-V , --version

print version number, then exit

-v , --verbose

verbosely report processing

-d , --debug

don’t remove temporary files

-f , --force

consider every files are obsolete

-i , --install

copy missing auxiliary files

-s , --symlink

instead of copying, install symbolic links

The option ‘--install’ is similar to the option ‘--add-missing’ in other tools.

Library directories:

-A , --autoconf-dir = ACDIR

Autoconf’s macro files location (rarely needed)

-l , --localdir = DIR

location of ‘aclocal.m4’ and ‘acconfig.h’

-M , --m4dir = M4DIR

this package’s Autoconf extensions

Unless specified, heuristics try to compute ‘M4DIR’ from the ‘Makefile.am’, or defaults to ‘m4’ if it exists.

The environment variables AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER are honored.
