AUTOCONF(1)						      General Commands Manual						       AUTOCONF(1)

NAME

       autoconf2.13 - creates scripts to configure source code packages using templates

SYNOPSIS

       autoconf2.13 [ --help | -h ] [ --localdir=dir | -l dir ] [ --macrodir=dir | -m dir ] [ --version ]

DESCRIPTION

       To  create  configure  from  configure.in, run the autoconf2.13 program with no arguments.  autoconf2.13 processes configure.in with the m4
       macro processor, using the Autoconf macros.  If you give autoconf2.13 an argument, it reads that file instead of  configure.in  and  writes
       the  configuration  script  to the standard output instead of to configure.  If you give autoconf2.13 the argument -, it reads the standard
       input instead of configure.in and writes the configuration script on the standard output.

       The Autoconf macros are defined in several files.  Some of the files are distributed with Autoconf; autoconf2.13 reads them first.  Then it
       looks  for the optional file acsite.m4 in the directory that contains the distributed Autoconf macro files, and for the optional file aclo-
       cal.m4 in the current directory.  Those files can contain your site's or the package's own Autoconf  macro  definitions.   If  a  macro	is
       defined in more than one of the files that autoconf2.13 reads, the last definition it reads overrides the earlier ones.

       autoconf2.13 accepts the following options:

       --help

       -h     Print a summary of the command line options and exit.

       --localdir=DIR

       -l DIR Look for the package file aclocal.m4 in directory DIR instead of in the current directory.

       --macrodir=DIR

       -m DIR Look  for  the  installed  macro files in directory DIR.	You can also set the AC_MACRODIR environment variable to a directory; this
	      option overrides the environment variable.

       --version
	      Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
