Hi,

I've inherited an autotools-using project and am trying to learn more about autoconf and automake. The project has used the following brief autogen.sh:

aclocal && autoheader && autoconf && automake --add-missing --copy

Is there any reason I can't just use autoreconf, which I understand is
supposed to fill this role?

(I've read the fine manual but want to be sure I understand correctly).

Hello David,
yes, using autoreconf --install (or autoreconf --force --verbose -- install) is usually the recommended way unless you have very specific needs.

Cheers,
