ACINCLUDE(1)

NAME
acinclude - manual page for ac-archive 0.5.39

SYNOPSIS
acinclude [OPTIONS] ...

DESCRIPTION
Generate `acinclude.m4' by scanning `configure.ac' or `configure.in'

--acdir=DIR
    directory holding subdirectories with config files

--help
    print this help, then exit

-I  DIR
    add directory to superdir search list for .m4 files

.   add current directory as superdir to searchlist which is the default if no -I option was given.

--output=FILE
    put output in FILE (default acinclude.m4)

--print-ac-dir
    print name of directory with subdirs holding m4 files

--verbose
    don't be silent

--version
    print version number, then exit

    Note that unlike aclocal the subdirectories (!!) of the acdir-path are searched for files - the default will find locals as ./*/*.m4 and always search for ac-macros installed as share/aclocal/*/*.m4 which may include the macros from ac-archive or from packages that chose to install multiple files into a subdirectory of share/aclocal. The tool will warn at unresolved symbols starting with AX_ just as the original aclocal program did warn at unresolved macros with AC_.
