AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([OPTIONS])AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is called with a single argument: a space-separated
list of Automake options that should be applied to every Makefile.am
in the tree. The effect is as if each option were listed in
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS (see Options).
This macro could once (before Automake 1.13) also be called in the
now obsolete and completely unsupported form
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(PACKAGE, VERSION, [NO-DEFINE]). In this form,
there were two required arguments: the package and the version number.
AC_INIT([src/foo.c])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([mumble], [1.5])
you must modernize it as follows in order to make it work with Automake 1.13 or later:
AC_INIT([mumble], [1.5])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/foo.c])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
Note that if you're upgrading your configure.ac from an earlier
version of Automake, it is not always correct to simply move the
package and version arguments from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE directly to
AC_INIT, as in the example above. The first argument to
AC_INIT should be the name of your package (e.g., ‘GNU
Automake’), not the tarball name (e.g., ‘automake’) that you used
to pass to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. 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 AC_INIT to provide the tarball name
explicitly).
By default this macro AC_DEFINE's PACKAGE and
VERSION. This can be avoided by passing the no-define
option:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnits 1.5 no-define dist-bzip2])
AM_PATH_LISPDIRlispdir to the full path to Emacs' site-lisp
directory.
Note that this test assumes the emacs found to be a version
that supports Emacs Lisp (such as GNU Emacs or XEmacs). Other
emacsen can cause this test to hang (some, like old versions of
MicroEmacs, start up in interactive mode, requiring 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 C-c to kill the test. In
order to avoid problems, you can set EMACS to “no” in the
environment, or use the --with-lispdir option to
configure to explicitly set the correct path (if you're sure
you have an emacs that supports Emacs Lisp).
AM_PROG_AR([act-if-fail])AM_PROG_ASCCAS, and will also set CCASFLAGS if required.
AM_PROG_CC_C_OAC_PROG_CC_C_O, but it generates its results in
the manner required by Automake. You must use this instead of
AC_PROG_CC_C_O when you need this functionality, that is, when
using per-target flags or subdir-objects with C sources.
AM_PROG_LEXAC_PROG_LEX (see Particular Program Checks), but uses the
missing script on systems that do not have lex.
HP-UX 10 is one such system.
AM_PROG_GCJGCJ and GCJFLAGS. gcj is the Java front-end to the
GNU Compiler Collection.
AM_PROG_UPC([compiler-search-list])UPC
variable. The default compiler-search-list is ‘upcc upc’.
This macro will abort configure if no Unified Parallel C
compiler is found.
AM_MISSING_PROG(name, program)AM_SILENT_RULESAM_WITH_DMALLOCWITH_DMALLOC and add -ldmalloc to LIBS.
