autoreconf2.591
Update generated configuration files
Usage
autoreconf [OPTION] ...
[CONFIGURE-AC
or
DIRECTORY] ...
Overview
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the GNU Build System files in the DIRECTORIES or the directory trees driven by CONFIGURE-AC (defaulting to `.').
By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their predecessors. If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files by giving it the `--force' option.
