| 16 | <para>automake includes a number of autoconf macros which can be used in
|
|---|
| 17 | packages, some of which are needed by automake in certain
|
|---|
| 18 | situations. These macros must be defined in the aclocal.m4-file
|
|---|
| 19 | or they will not be seen by autoconf.</para>

|

| 21 | <para>The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
|
|---|
| 22 | based on the contents of configure.in. This provides a convenient
|
|---|
| 23 | way to get automake-provided macros without having to search around.
|
|---|
| 24 | Also, the aclocal mechanism is extensible for use
|
|---|
| 25 | by other packages.</para></sect4>
