NAME¶
autoupdate2.13 - updates an old configure.in file to version 2
SYNOPSIS¶
autoconf2.13 [ --help | -h ] [ --macrodir=dir |
-m dir ] [ --version ]
DESCRIPTION¶
The autoupdate2.13 program updates a configure.in file that calls
Autoconf macros by their old names to use the current macro names. In version
2 of Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a more uniform and
descriptive naming scheme. Although the old names still work , you can make
your configure.in files more readable and make it easier to use the
current Autoconf documentation if you update them to use the new macro names.
If given no arguments, autoupdate2.13 updates configure.in,
backing up the original version with the suffix ~ (or the value of the
environment variable SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX, if that is set). If you give
autoupdate2.13 an argument, it reads that file instead of
configure.in and writes the updated file to the standard output.
autoconf2.13 accepts the following options:
- --help
- -h
- Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
- --macrodir=DIR
- -m DIR
- Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR. You can also set the
AC_MACRODIR environment variable to a directory; this option
overrides the environment variable.
- --version
- Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
