NAME
bakefilize - prepare Bakefile project for use with Autoconf
SYNOPSIS
-
bakefilize [--copy] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
For the "autoconf" format, Bakefile creates Makefile.in files that depend on the availability of common pieces of a GNU build system. (config.guess,
install-sh, etc.) These tools are part of Automake, which can copy these files into a project's directory during processing.
bakefilize
effectively replaces the
automake --add-missing
feature.
It is standard practice in Autoconf-based projects to provide a "bootstrap" script (commonly called either
bootstrap
or
autogen.sh) to run commands like
autoconf
with the proper flags and in the proper order. You should run
bakefilize
in that script, at some point before the
configure
script runs.
