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.
