| 3 | <para><command>autoconf</command> is a tool for producing shell scripts
|
---|
| 4 | that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many
|
---|
| 5 | kinds of Unix-like systems. The configuration scripts it produces are
|
---|
| 6 | independent -- running them does not require the autoconf program.</para>
|
---|
| 7 |
|
---|
| 8 | <para><command>autoheader</command> is a tool for creating template files
|
---|
| 9 | of C #define statements for configure to use.</para>

| 13 |
|
---|
| 14 | <para><command>autoreconf</command> comes in handy when there are a lot
|
---|
| 15 | of autoconf-generated configure scripts around. The program runs autoconf and
|
---|
| 16 | autoheader repeatedly (where appropriate) to remake the autoconf configure
|
---|
| 17 | scripts and configuration header templates in a given directory tree.</para>
|
---|
| 18 |
|
---|
| 19 | <para><command>autoscan</command> can help to create a
|
---|
| 20 | <filename>configure.in</filename> file for a software package. It examines
|
---|
| 21 | the source files in a directory tree, searching them for common portability
|
---|
| 22 | problems and creates a <filename>configure.scan</filename> file that serves as
|
---|
| 23 | as a preliminary <filename>configure.in</filename> for the package.</para>
|
---|
| 24 |
|
---|
| 25 | <para><command>autoupdate</command> modifies a
|
---|
| 26 | <filename>configure.in</filename> file that still calls autoconf macros
|
---|
| 27 | by their old names to use the current macro names.</para>
|
---|
| 28 |
|
---|
| 29 | <para><command>ifnames</command> can be helpful when writing a
|
---|
| 30 | <filename>configure.in</filename> for a software package. It prints the
|
---|
| 31 | identifiers that the package uses in C preprocessor conditionals. If a package
|
---|
| 32 | has already been set up to have some portability, this program can help to
|
---|
| 33 | determine what <userinput>configure</userinput> needs to check. It can fill
|
---|
| 34 | in some gaps in a <filename>configure.in</filename> file generated by
|
---|
| 35 | autoscan.</para>
