autoreconf

Autoreconf on osa GNU autotools-kokoelmaa, se on perl-skripti, joka on luotu autoreconf.in tiedostosta. Sitä kutsutaan yleensä autogen.sh- tai bootstrap.sh-tiedostoista.

autoreconf --install tarvitsee syötteenä joko configure.ac tai configure.in tiedosdostot suorittaakseen aclocal, autoconf ja autoheaderin. autoreconf ajaa automaattisesti autoconf-, autoheader-, aclocal-, automake-, gettextize- ja libtoolize-ohjelmat oikeassa järjestyksessä säästääkseen aikaa, kun autoconf- ja automake-mallitiedostoihin tehdään muutoksia.

autoreconf --help

$ autoreconf --help Usage: /usr/bin/autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]... Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the GNU Build System files in specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to `.'). By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources. If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can make `autoreconf' remake all of the files by giving it the `--force' option. Operation modes: -h, --help print this help, then exit -V, --version print version number, then exit -v, --verbose verbosely report processing -d, --debug don't remove temporary files -f, --force consider all files obsolete -i, --install copy missing auxiliary files --no-recursive don't rebuild sub-packages -s, --symlink with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies -m, --make when applicable, re-run ./configure && make -W, --warnings=CATEGORY report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax] Warning categories include: `cross' cross compilation issues `gnu' GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes) `obsolete' obsolete features or constructions `override' user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables `portability' portability issues (default in gnu and gnits modes) `syntax' dubious syntactic constructs (default) `unsupported' unsupported or incomplete features (default) `all' all the warnings `no-CATEGORY' turn off warnings in CATEGORY `none' turn off all the warnings `error' treat warnings as errors The environment variable `WARNINGS' is honored. Some subtools might support other warning types, using `all' is encouraged. Library directories: -B, --prepend-include=DIR prepend directory DIR to search path -I, --include=DIR append directory DIR to search path The environment variables AUTOM4TE, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE, M4, and MAKE are honored.
