12<para>Automake includes a number of Autoconf macros which can be used in
13packages; some of them are actually required by Automake in certain
14situations. These macros must be defined in the aclocal.m4-file;
15otherwise they will not be seen by autoconf.</para>
16
17<para>The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
18based on the contents of configure.in. This provides a convenient
19way to get Automake-provided macros, without having to search around.
20Also, the aclocal mechanism is extensible for use by other packages.</para>

26<para>To create all the Makefile.in's for a package, run the automake
27program in the top level directory, with no arguments. automake will
28automatically find each appropriate Makefile.am (by scanning
29configure.in) and generate the corresponding Makefile.in.</para>
