[\fITEMPLATE-FILE\fR] .SH 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. .SS "Operation modes:" .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR print this help, then exit .TP \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR print version number, then exit .TP \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR verbosely report processing .TP \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR don't remove temporary files .TP \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR consider every files are obsolete .TP \fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-install\fR copy missing auxiliary files .TP \fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-symlink\fR instead of copying, install symbolic links .PP The option `--install' is similar to the option `--add-missing' in other tools. .SS "Library directories:" .TP \fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-autoconf\-dir\fR=\fIACDIR\fR Autoconf's macro files location (rarely needed) .TP \fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-localdir\fR=\fIDIR\fR location of `aclocal.m4' and `acconfig.h' .TP \fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-m4dir\fR=\fIM4DIR\fR this package's Autoconf extensions .PP Unless specified, heuristics try to compute `M4DIR' from the `Makefile.am', or defaults to `m4' if it exists. .SS "The following options are passed to `automake':" .TP \fB\-\-cygnus\fR assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree .TP \fB\-\-foreign\fR set strictness to foreign .TP \fB\-\-gnits\fR set strictness to gnits .TP \fB\-\-gnu\fR set strictness to gnu .TP \fB\-\-include\-deps\fR include generated dependencies in Makefile.in .PP The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and ACLOCAL are honored. .SH AUTHOR Written by David J.
