SYNOPSIS

       autoreconf [OPTION] ... [CONFIGURE-AC or DIRECTORY] ...


DESCRIPTION

       Run  `autoconf'  (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake',
       `autopoint'  (formerly  `gettextize'),  and   `libtoolize'
       where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the GNU Build Sys­
       tem files in the DIRECTORIES or the directory trees driven
       by CONFIGURE-AC (defaulting to `.').

       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.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
              print this help, then exit

       -V, --version
              print version number, then exit

       -v, --verbose
              verbosely report processing

       -d, --debug
              don't remove temporary files

       -f, --force
              consider all files obsolete

       -i, --install
              copy missing auxiliary files

       -s, --symlink
              with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies

       -m, --make
              when applicable, re-run ./configure && make

       -W, --warnings=CATEGORY
              report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax]

   Warning categories include:
       `cross'
              cross compilation issues

       `obsolete'
              obsolete constructs

       `portability'
              portability issues

       The environment  variable  `WARNINGS'  is  honored.   Some
       subtools might support other warning types, using `all' is
       encouraged.

   Library directories:
       -B, --prepend-include=DIR
              prepend directory DIR to search path

       -I, --include=DIR
              append directory DIR to search path

       The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER,  AUTOMAKE,
       ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE are honored.
