NAME

       mm-common-prepare - Prepare a C++ binding module to use mm-common and Autotools

SYNOPSIS

       mm-common-prepare [OPTION]... [SOURCE-DIR]

DESCRIPTION

       Run  mm-common-prepare  to  copy  the mm-common build support files into the source tree of a C++ binding
       module.  The exact location these files will be copied to can be influenced through special macros in the
       configure.ac file.

       AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([AUX-DIR])
              The  Automake  include  files  are  placed  into  the AUX-DIR subdirectory of the top-level source
              directory.  If AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not specified, the files are placed at the  top-level  of  the
              module's source tree.

       MM_CONFIG_DOCTOOL_DIR([DOCTOOL-DIR])
              If  the  MM_CONFIG_DOCTOOL_DIR  macro  is called with an explicit DOCTOOL-DIR argument, the common
              utilities required for generating and installing the reference  documentation  of  a  C++  binding
              module will be copied to the named subdirectory.  If MM_CONFIG_DOCTOOL_DIR is not used or does not
              specify a DOCTOOL-DIR argument, mm-common-prepare will not copy the  documentation  utility  files
              into  the  module's  source tree.  Instead, it is assumed that the module depends on mm-common and
              can use the installed documentation utilities that come with it.

       If no SOURCE-DIR argument has been specified on the command line, the current working directory  will  be
       used.

OPTIONS

       -c, --copy
              copy files instead of creating symbolic links to them

       -f, --force
              forcefully replace existing files or symbolic links

       --help display a help message and exit

       --version
              show version information and exit

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 if OK, or 1 if an error occurred.
