<para>Automake includes a number of Autoconf macros which can be used in
|
|
packages; some of them are actually required by Automake in certain
|
|
situations. These macros must be defined in the aclocal.m4-file;
|
|
otherwise they will not be seen by autoconf.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
|
|
based on the contents of configure.in. This provides a convenient
|
|
way to get Automake-provided macros, without having to search around.
|
|
Also, the aclocal mechanism is extensible for use by other packages.</para>

<para>To create all the 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
|
|
configure.in) and generate the corresponding Makefile.in.</para>
