autoconf - Generate configuration scripts SYNOPSIS
autoconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE] DESCRIPTION
Generate a configuration script from a TEMPLATE-FILE if given, or `configure.ac' if present, or else `configure.in'. Output is sent to the standard output if TEMPLATE-FILE is given, else into `configure'. 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 -o, --output=FILE save output in FILE (stdout is the default) -W, --warnings=CATEGORY report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax] Warning categories include: `cross' cross compilation issues `obsolete' obsolete constructs `syntax' dubious syntactic constructs `all' all the warnings `no-CATEGORY' turn off the warnings on CATEGORY `none' turn off all the warnings `error' warnings are error The environment variable `WARNINGS' is honored. Library directories: -B, --prepend-include=DIR prepend directory DIR to search path -I, --include=DIR append directory DIR to search path Tracing: -t, --trace=MACRO report the list of calls to MACRO -i, --initialization also trace Autoconf's initialization process In tracing mode, no configuration script is created.

The Debian project regards the full documentation for autoconf to be non-free, so it is not included in Debian. Nevertheless, the non-free distribution that accompanies Debian includes the manual in its autoconf-doc package. Otherwise, you may be able to access the Autoconf manual online. /usr/share/doc/autoconf/autoconf.html for more information. autoconf 2.59 September 2005 AUTOCONF(1)
