- <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></sect4>
- <sect4><title>automake</title>
- <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></sect4>
