FYI: invoking aclocal subsections


From: Alexandre Duret-Lutz
Subject: FYI: invoking aclocal subsections
Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 11:32:46 +0100
User-agent: Gnus/5.110003 (No Gnus v0.3) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux)

For some reason I can't use `#serial' in menu entries.  Emacs's
texinfo-all-menus-update would remove the description.

2005-02-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <address@hidden>

        * doc/automake.texi (aclocal options, Macro search path,
        Extending aclocal, Local Macros, Serials, Future of aclocal): Make
        these subsection of ...
        (Invoking aclocal): ... this.

address@hidden AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB
-This is used when a ``multilib'' library is being built.  The first

-defaults to @samp{Makefile}.  The second option argument is used to find
-the top source directory; it defaults to the empty string (generally

address@hidden to the empty string.  Otherwise, set @samp{U} to
address@hidden and @samp{ANSI2KNR} to @samp{./ansi2knr}.  Automake uses these
-values to implement automatic de-ANSI-fication.

address@hidden AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([OPTIONS])
address@hidden AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(PACKAGE, VERSION, [NO-DEFINE])
address@hidden AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
-Runs many macros required for proper operation of the generated Makefiles.
-
address@hidden AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS
-This macro has two forms, the first of which is preferred.
-In this form, @code{AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE} is called with a
-single argument --- a space-separated list of Automake options which should
-be applied to every @file{Makefile.am} in the tree.  The effect is as if
-each option were listed in @code{AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS} (@pxref{Options}).
-
address@hidden AC_INIT
-The second, deprecated, form of @code{AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE} has two required
-arguments: the package and the version number.  This form is
-obsolete because the @var{package} and @var{version} can be obtained
-from Autoconf's @code{AC_INIT} macro (which itself has an old and a new
-form).

-

-AC_INIT(mumble, 1.5)
-AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/foo.c)
-AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
address@hidden example
-
-Note that if you're upgrading your @file{configure.ac} from an earlier
-version of Automake, it is not always correct to simply move the package
-and version arguments from @code{AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE} directly to
address@hidden, as in the example above.  The first argument to
address@hidden should be the name of your package (e.g. @samp{GNU Automake}),
-not the tarball name (e.g. @samp{automake}) that you used to pass to
address@hidden  Autoconf tries to derive a tarball name from
-the package name, which should work for most but not all package names.
-(If it doesn't work for yours, you can use the
-four-argument form of @code{AC_INIT} --- supported in Autoconf versions

-
-Note that this test assumes the @code{emacs} found to be a version that
-supports Emacs Lisp (such as @sc{gnu} Emacs or XEmacs).  Other emacsen
-can cause this test to hang (some, like old versions of MicroEmacs,
-start up in interactive mode, requiring @samp{C-x C-c} to exit, which
-is hardly obvious for a non-emacs user).  In most cases, however, you
-should be able to use @samp{C-c} to kill the test.  In order to avoid
-problems, you can set @code{EMACS} to ``no'' in the environment, or
-use the @samp{--with-lispdir} option to @command{configure} to

address@hidden regex package
address@hidden rx package
-Adds @samp{--with-regex} to the @code{configure} command line.  If

-library is used, @file{regex.o} is put into @samp{LIBOBJS}, and
