    13 <para>automake includes a number of autoconf macros which can be used in
    14 packages, some of which are needed by automake in certain
    15 situations. These macros must be defined in the aclocal.m4-file

    18 <para>The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
    19 based on the contents of configure.in. This provides a convenient
    20 way to get automake-provided macros without having to search around.

     19top level directory. By scanning the <filename>configure.in</filename>s it
     20automatically finds each appropriate <filename>Makefile.am</filename> and

    25 <para>To create all the Makefile.in files for a package, run the
