.TH AUTORECONF "1" "November 2003" "autoreconf 2.59" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
autoreconf \- Update generated configuration files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autoreconf
[\fIOPTION\fR] ... [\fICONFIGURE-AC or DIRECTORY\fR] ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint'
(formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate)
repeatedly to remake the GNU Build System files in the DIRECTORIES or
the directory trees driven by CONFIGURE-AC (defaulting to `.').
.PP
By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their
predecessors.  If you install new versions of the GNU Build System,
running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files by giving it the
`--force' option.
