NAME
       dh-autoreconf - debhelper add-on to run autoreconf during build


DESCRIPTION
       The dh-autoreconf package provides a sequence addon for debhelper 7
       which can be used in the following way:

           #!/usr/bin/make -f
           %:
               dh $@ --with autoreconf

       This will call dh_autoreconf prior to dh_auto_configure and will call
       dh_autoreconf_clean before dh_clean.

       For more information on how to control the autoreconf process or how to
       other possible options, read the dh_autoreconf(1) and
       dh_autoreconf_clean(1) manual pages.


CDBS INTEGRATION
       This package also provides /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk for
       packages using CDBS. The variable "DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_ARGS" can be used
       to pass extra arguments to dh_autoreconf, and the variable
       "DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_CLEAN_ARGS" to pass arguments to
       dh_autoreconf_clean. See their manual pages for information on
       available arguments.


PATCHING LTMAIN.SH FOR AS-NEEDED LINKER FLAGS
       You can add support for -Wl,--as-needed to ltmain.sh (at least for
       those ltmain.sh scripts changed during autoreconf) by passing the
       argument --as-needed to dh_autoreconf, as demonstrated in the following
       example:

           #!/usr/bin/make -f
           %:
               dh $@ --with autoreconf
           override_dh_autoreconf:
               dh_autoreconf --as-needed

       and for CDBS, by adding it to the correct variable such as:

           DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_ARGS = --as-needed

       For more information about this feature, see dh_autoreconf(1)


CAVEATS
       dh_autoreconf is a superset of the autotools-dev debhelper addons, so
       you do not need --with=autotools_dev if you use --with=autoreconf. In
       fact, in most cases they should not be used together, as it may lead to
       unpredictable behaviour.

       From time to time, there might be a short breakage for those using
       automatic ltmain.sh patching, when the patch now longer applies to the
       ltmain.sh.
