NAME

automake - automatically create Makefile.in's from Make

file.am's

SYNOPSIS

Array--force-missing  ] [ --foreign ] [ --gnits ] [ --gnu ] [ --help ]
[ -i | --ignore-deps ] [ --include-deps ] [ --no-force ] [ -o DIR
] [ --output-dir=DIR ] [ --srcdir-name=DIR ] [ -v | --verbose ] [
--version ] [ --Werror | --Wno-error ]

DESCRIPTION

Arrayautomake will automatically find each appropriate Makefile.am (by scanning configure.in) and generate the corresponding

Makefile.in

Arrayinput file. This feature is generally only used to automatically
rebuild an out-of-date Makefile.in. Note that automake must always be run from the topmost directory of a project, even if being used to regenerate the Makefile.in in some subdirectory. This is necessary because automake must scan configure.in, and because automake uses the knowledge that a Makefile.in is in a subdirectory to change its behavior in some cases.
automake accepts the following options:

-a

Arrayfor debugging.
-c

Array-f

Array-i

Arraythose Makefile.ins which are out of date with respect to one of their dependents.
-o DIR

Arraycorresponding Makefile.am. This option is used when making distributions.
-v

Arraywhile warnings do not. --Wno-error, the default, causes warning to be treated as warnings only.
