NAME

       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...

DESCRIPTION

       Run   'autoconf'  and,  when  needed,  'aclocal',  'autoheader',  'automake',  'autopoint'
       (formerly 'gettextize'), 'libtoolize', 'intltoolize', and 'gtkdocize'  to  regenerate  the
       GNU  Build  System  files in specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to
       '.').

       By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources.  If you install
       new versions of the GNU Build System, you can make 'autoreconf' remake all of the files by
       giving it the '--force' option.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
              print this help, then exit

       -V, --version
              print version number, then exit

       -v, --verbose
              verbosely report processing

       -d, --debug
              don't remove temporary files

       -f, --force
              consider all generated and standard files obsolete

       -i, --install
              copy missing standard auxiliary files

       --no-recursive
              don't rebuild sub-packages

       -s, --symlink
              with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies

       -m, --make
              when applicable, re-run ./configure && make

       -W, --warnings=CATEGORY
              report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax]

   Warning categories include:
       cross  cross compilation issues

       gnu    GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes)

              prepend directory DIR to search path

       -I, --include=DIR
              append directory DIR to search path
