DESCRIPTION
To create all the
R Makefile.in s
for a package, run the
automake
program in the top level directory, with no arguments.
automake
will automatically find each appropriate
Makefile.am
(by scanning
R configure.in )
and generate the corresponding
R Makefile.in .
Note that
automake
has a rather simplistic view of what constitutes a package; it assumes
that a package has only one
R configure.in ,
at the
top. If your package has multiple
R configure.in s,
then you must run
automake
in each directory holding a
R configure.in .
You can optionally give
automake
an argument;
.am
is appended to the argument and the result is used as the name of the
input file. This feature is generally only used to automatically
rebuild an out-of-date
R Makefile.in .
Note that
automake
must always be run from the topmost directory of a project, even if
being used to regenerate the
Makefile.in
in some subdirectory. This is necessary
because
automake
must scan
R configure.in ,
and because
automake
uses the knowledge that a
Makefile.in
is in a subdirectory to change its behavior in some cases.
automake
accepts the following options:
I --add-missing
Automake requires certain common files to exist in certain
situations; for instance
config.guess
is required if
configure.in
runs
R AC_CANONICAL_HOST .
Automake is distributed with several of these files; this option will
cause the missing ones to be automatically added to the package,
whenever possible. In general if Automake tells you a file is
missing, try using this option.
I --amdir=DIR
Look for Automake data files in directory DIR instead of in the
installation directory. This is typically used for debugging.
I --build-dir=DIR
Tell Automake where the build directory is. This option is used
when including dependencies into a
Makefile.in
generated by
make
R dist ;
it should not be used otherwise.
I --copy
When used with --add-missing, causes installed files to be copied.
The default is to make a symbolic link.
I --cygnus
Causes the generated
R Makefile.in s
to follow Cygnus rules, instead of GNU or Gnits rules.
I --foreign
Set the global strictness to
R foreign .
I --gnits
Set the global strictness to
R gnits .
I --gnu
Set the global strictness to
R gnu .
This is the default strictness.
I --help
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
I --include-deps
Include all automatically generated dependency information in the
generated
R Makefile.in .
This is generally done
when making a distribution.
I --no-force
Ordinarily
automake
creates all
R Makefile.in s
mentioned in
R configure.in .
This option causes it to only update those
R Makefile.in s
which are out of date with respect to one of their dependents.
I --output-dir=DIR
Put the generated
Makefile.in
in the directory DIR. Ordinarily
each
Makefile.in
is created in the directory of the
corresponding
R Makefile.am .
This option is used when making
distributions.
I --srcdir-name=DIR
Tell Automake the name of the source directory associated with the
current build. This option is used when including dependencies into a
Makefile.in
generated by
R make dist ;
it should not be used otherwise.
I --verbose
Cause Automake to print information about which files are being read
or created.
I --version
Print the version number of Automake and exit.
