autoreconf - Update generated configuration files SYNOPSIS
autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE] DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal' and `automake', 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 following options are passed to `automake': --cygnus assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree --foreign set strictness to foreign --gnits set strictness to gnits --gnu set strictness to gnu --include-deps include generated dependencies in Makefile.in The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and ACLOCAL are honored.

autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]... DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeat- edly to remake the GNU Build System files in specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to `.'). By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources. If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can make `autoreconf' remake 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 all files obsolete -i, --install copy missing auxiliary files --no-recursive don't rebuild sub-packages -s, --symlink with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies -m, --make when applicable, re-run ./configure && make -W, --warnings=CATEGORY report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax] Warning categories include: `cross' cross compilation issues `gnu' GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes) `obsolete' obsolete features or constructions `override' user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables `portability' portability issues (default in gnu and gnits modes) `syntax' dubious syntactic constructs (default) `unsupported' unsupported or incomplete features (default) `all' all the warnings `no-CATEGORY' turn off warnings in CATEGORY `none' turn off all the warnings `error' treat warnings as errors The environment variable `WARNINGS' is honored. Some subtools might support other warning types, using `all' is encouraged. Library directories: -B, --prepend-include=DIR prepend directory DIR to search path -I, --include=DIR append directory DIR to search path The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE, M4, and MAKE are honored.
