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

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.
