NAME

6       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Run  `autoconf'  (and  `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint'
13       (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeatedly
14       to remake the GNU Build System files in specified DIRECTORIES and their
15       subdirectories (defaulting to `.').
16
17       By default, it only remakes those  files  that  are  older  than  their
18       sources.   If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can
19       make `autoreconf' remake all of the files by giving  it  the  `--force'
20       option.
