17 config.status Invocation
***************************
The `configure' script creates a file named `config.status', which
actually configures, "instantiates", the template files. It also
records the configuration options that were specified when the package
was last configured in case reconfiguring is needed.
Synopsis:
./config.status [OPTION]... [TAG]...
It configures each TAG; if none are specified, all the templates are
instantiated. A TAG refers to a file or other tag associated with a
configuration action, as specified by an `AC_CONFIG_ITEMS' macro (*note
Configuration Actions::). The files must be specified without their
dependencies, as in
./config.status foobar
not
./config.status foobar:foo.in:bar.in
The supported options are:
`--help'
`-h'
Print a summary of the command line options, the list of the
template files, and exit.
`--version'
`-V'
Print the version number of Autoconf and the configuration
settings, and exit.
`--config'
Print the configuration settings in reusable way, quoted for the
shell, and exit. For example, for a debugging build that
otherwise reuses the configuration from a different build
directory BUILD-DIR of a package in SRC-DIR, you could use the
following:
args=`BUILD-DIR/config.status --config`
eval SRC-DIR/configure "$args" CFLAGS=-g --srcdir=SRC-DIR
Note that it may be necessary to override a `--srcdir' setting
that was saved in the configuration, if the arguments are used in a
different build directory.
`--silent'
`--quiet'
`-q'
Do not print progress messages.
`--debug'
`-d'
Don't remove the temporary files.
`--file=FILE[:TEMPLATE]'
Require that FILE be instantiated as if
`AC_CONFIG_FILES(FILE:TEMPLATE)' was used. Both FILE and TEMPLATE
may be `-' in which case the standard output and/or standard
input, respectively, is used. If a TEMPLATE file name is
relative, it is first looked for in the build tree, and then in
the source tree. *Note Configuration Actions::, for more details.
This option and the following ones provide one way for separately
distributed packages to share the values computed by `configure'.
Doing so can be useful if some of the packages need a superset of
the features that one of them, perhaps a common library, does.
These options allow a `config.status' file to create files other
than the ones that its `configure.ac' specifies, so it can be used
for a different package, or for extracting a subset of values.
For example,
echo '@CC@' | ./config.status --file=-
provides the value of `@CC@' on standard output.
`--header=FILE[:TEMPLATE]'
Same as `--file' above, but with `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS'.
`--recheck'
Ask `config.status' to update itself and exit (no instantiation).
This option is useful if you change `configure', so that the
results of some tests might be different from the previous run.
The `--recheck' option reruns `configure' with the same arguments
you used before, plus the `--no-create' option, which prevents
`configure' from running `config.status' and creating `Makefile'
and other files, and the `--no-recursion' option, which prevents
`configure' from running other `configure' scripts in
subdirectories. (This is so other Make rules can run
`config.status' when it changes; *note Automatic Remaking::, for
an example).
`config.status' checks several optional environment variables that
can alter its behavior:
-- Variable: CONFIG_SHELL
The shell with which to run `configure'. It must be
Bourne-compatible, and the absolute name of the shell should be
passed. The default is a shell that supports `LINENO' if
available, and `/bin/sh' otherwise.
-- Variable: CONFIG_STATUS
The file name to use for the shell script that records the
configuration. The default is `./config.status'. This variable is
useful when one package uses parts of another and the `configure'
scripts shouldn't be merged because they are maintained separately.
You can use `./config.status' in your makefiles. For example, in
the dependencies given above (*note Automatic Remaking::),
`config.status' is run twice when `configure.ac' has changed. If that
bothers you, you can make each run only regenerate the files for that
rule:
config.h: stamp-h
stamp-h: config.h.in config.status
./config.status config.h
echo > stamp-h
Makefile: Makefile.in config.status
./config.status Makefile
The calling convention of `config.status' has changed; see *note
Obsolete config.status Use::, for details.
