ACINCLUDE(1)                          GPL                         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  aclo-
              cal program did warn at unresolved macros with AC_.
