File: autoconf.info, Node: config.status Invocation, Next: Obsolete Constructs, Prev: Running configure Scripts, Up: Top 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.
