AUTORECONF(1) User Commands AUTORECONF(1)NAMEautoreconf - Update generated configuration files
SYNOPSISautoreconf [OPTION] ... [CONFIGURE-AC or DIRECTORY] ...
DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake',
`autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize'
where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the GNU Build Sys-
tem files in the DIRECTORIES or the directory trees driven
by CONFIGURE-AC (defaulting to `.').
By default, it only remakes those files that are older
than their predecessors. If you install new versions of
the GNU Build System, running `autoreconf' remakes all of
the files by giving it the `--force' option.

-V, --version

-v, --verbose

-d, --debug

-f, --force

-i, --install

-s, --symlink

-m, --make
when applicable, re-run ./configure && make
