If you have a lot of Autoconf-generated
configure scripts, the
autoreconf2.13 program can save you some work. It runs
autoconf2.13 (and
autoheader2.13, 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
configure.in or
(if present)
aclocal.m4. Since
autoheader2.13 does not change
the timestamp of its output file if the file wouldn't be changing, this is not
necessarily the minimum amount of work. If you install a new version of
Autoconf, you can make
autoreconf2.13 remake
all of the files by
giving it the
--force option.
If you give
autoreconf2.13 the
--macrodir=DIR or
--localdir=DIR options, it passes them down to
autoconf2.13 and
autoheader2.13 (with relative paths adjusted properly).
autoreconf2.13 does not support having, in the same directory tree, both
directories that are parts of a larger package (sharing
aclocal.m4 and
acconfig.h), and directories that are independent packages (each with
their own
aclocal.m4 and
acconfig.h). It assumes that they are
all part of the same package, if you use
--localdir, or that each
directory is a separate package, if you don't use it. This restriction may be
removed in the future.
autoreconf2.13 accepts the following options:
- --help
- -h
- Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
- --force
- -f
- Remake even configure scripts and configuration
headers that are newer than their input files (configure.in and, if
present, aclocal.m4).
- --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.
- --verbose
- Print the name of each directory where
autoreconf2.13 runs autoconf2.13 (and autoheader2.13,
if appropriate).
- --version
- Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
