DESCRIPTION
To create
configure
from
configure.in, run the
autoconf2.13
program with no arguments.
autoconf2.13
processes
configure.in
with
the
m4
macro processor, using the Autoconf macros. If you give
autoconf2.13
an argument, it reads that file instead of
configure.in
and writes the configuration script to the standard output instead of
to
R configure .
If you give
autoconf2.13
the argument
R - ,
it reads the
standard input instead of
configure.in
and writes the configuration
script on the standard output.
The Autoconf macros are defined in several files. Some of the files
are distributed with Autoconf;
autoconf2.13
reads them first. Then it
looks for the optional file
acsite.m4
in the directory that contains
the distributed Autoconf macro files, and for the optional file
aclocal.m4
in the current directory. Those files can contain your
site's or the package's own Autoconf macro definitions. If a macro is
defined in more than one of the files that
autoconf2.13
reads, the last
definition it reads overrides the earlier ones.
autoconf2.13
accepts the following options:
I -h
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
I -l DIR
Look for the package file
aclocal.m4
in directory DIR instead of
in the current directory.
I -m DIR
Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR. You can also
set the
AC_MACRODIR
environment variable to a directory; this
option overrides the environment variable.
I --version
Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
