It searches the source files for common portability problems and creates a file `configure.scan' which is a preliminary `configure.ac' for that package, and checks a possibly existing `configure.ac' for completeness. When using `autoscan' to create a `configure.ac', you should manually examine `configure.scan' before renaming it to `configure.ac'; it probably needs some adjustments. Occasionally, `autoscan' outputs a macro in the wrong order relative to another macro, so that `autoconf' produces a warning; you need to move such macros manually. Also, if you want the package to use a configuration header file, you must add a call to `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' (*note Configuration Headers::). You might also have to change or add some `#if' directives to your program in order to make it work with Autoconf (*note ifnames Invocation::, for information about a program that can help with that job). When using `autoscan' to maintain a `configure.ac', simply consider adding its suggestions. The file `autoscan.log' contains detailed information on why a macro is requested. `autoscan' uses several data files (installed along with Autoconf) to determine which macros to output when it finds particular symbols in a package's source files. These data files all have the same format: each line consists of a symbol, one or more blanks, and the Autoconf macro to output if that symbol is encountered. Lines starting with `#' are comments. `autoscan' 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 names of the files it examines and the potentially interesting symbols it finds in them. This output can be voluminous. `--debug' `-d' Don't remove temporary files. `--include=DIR' `-I DIR' Append DIR to the include path. Multiple invocations accumulate. `--prepend-include=DIR' `-B DIR' Prepend DIR to the include path. Multiple invocations accumulate.
