File: autoconf.info, Node: autoreconf Invocation, Prev: autoconf Invocation, Up: Making configure Scripts 3.5 Using `autoreconf' to Update `configure' Scripts ==================================================== Installing the various components of the GNU Build System can be tedious: running `autopoint' for Gettext, `automake' for `Makefile.in' etc. in each directory. It may be needed either because some tools such as `automake' have been updated on your system, or because some of the sources such as `configure.ac' have been updated, or finally, simply in order to install the GNU Build System in a fresh tree. `autoreconf' runs `autoconf', `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `libtoolize', and `autopoint' (when appropriate) repeatedly to update the GNU Build System in the specified directories and their subdirectories (*note Subdirectories::). By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources. The environment variables `AUTOM4TE', `AUTOCONF', `AUTOHEADER', `AUTOMAKE', `ACLOCAL', `AUTOPOINT', `LIBTOOLIZE', `M4', and `MAKE' may be used to override the invocation of the respective tools. If you install a new version of some tool, you can make `autoreconf' remake _all_ of the files by giving it the `--force' option. *Note Automatic Remaking::, for Make rules to automatically rebuild `configure' scripts when their source files change. That method handles the timestamps of configuration header templates properly, but does not pass `--autoconf-dir=DIR' or `--localdir=DIR'. Gettext supplies the `autopoint' command to add translation infrastructure to a source package. If you use `autopoint', your `configure.ac' should invoke both `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' and `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(GETTEXT-VERSION)'. *Note Invoking the `autopoint' Program: (gettext)autopoint Invocation, for further details. `autoreconf' accepts the following options: `--help' `-h' Print a summary of the command line options and exit. `--version' `-V' Print the version number of Autoconf and exit. `--verbose' `-v' Print the name of each directory `autoreconf' examines and the commands it runs. If given two or more times, pass `--verbose' to subordinate tools that support it. `--debug' `-d' Don't remove the temporary files. `--force' `-f' Remake even `configure' scripts and configuration headers that are newer than their input files (`configure.ac' and, if present, `aclocal.m4'). `--install' `-i' Install the missing auxiliary files in the package. By default, files are copied; this can be changed with `--symlink'. If deemed appropriate, this option triggers calls to `automake --add-missing', `libtoolize', `autopoint', etc. `--no-recursive' Do not rebuild files in subdirectories to configure (see *note Subdirectories::, macro `AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS'). `--symlink' `-s' When used with `--install', install symbolic links to the missing auxiliary files instead of copying them. `--make' `-m' When the directories were configured, update the configuration by running `./config.status --recheck && ./config.status', and then run `make'. `--include=DIR' `-I DIR' Append DIR to the include path. Multiple invocations accumulate. Passed on to `aclocal', `autoconf' and `autoheader' internally. `--prepend-include=DIR' `-B DIR' Prepend DIR to the include path. Multiple invocations accumulate. Passed on to `autoconf' and `autoheader' internally. `--warnings=CATEGORY' `-W CATEGORY' Report the warnings related to CATEGORY (which can actually be a comma separated list). `cross' related to cross compilation issues. `obsolete' report the uses of obsolete constructs. `portability' portability issues `syntax' dubious syntactic constructs. `all' report all the warnings `none' report none `error' treats warnings as errors `no-CATEGORY' disable warnings falling into CATEGORY Warnings about `syntax' are enabled by default, and the environment variable `WARNINGS', a comma separated list of categories, is honored as well. Passing `-W CATEGORY' actually behaves as if you had passed `--warnings syntax,$WARNINGS,CATEGORY'. To disable the defaults and `WARNINGS', and then enable warnings about obsolete constructs, use `-W none,obsolete'. If you want `autoreconf' to pass flags that are not listed here on to `aclocal', set `ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' in your `Makefile.am'. Due to a limitation in the Autoconf implementation these flags currently must be set on a single line in `Makefile.am', without any backslash-newlines.
