[cf24ff1] | 13 | <para>automake includes a number of autoconf macros which can be used in
|

[2c094d6] | 14 | packages, some of which are needed by automake in certain

| 15 | situations. These macros must be defined in the aclocal.m4-file

[b822811] | 18 | <para>The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
