autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]

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.
