关于automake的资料

在一些书上看到实现make另一种方法是automake，我看过，有点过于复杂，但是也不是一条解决的方法，现在我把它本身在操作系统中显示的帮助文件写出来，让大家看看。Usage: /usr/bin/automake [OPTION] ... [Makefile]...

Generate Makefile.in for configure from Makefile.am.

Operation modes:
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
-v, --verbose verbosely list files processed
--no-force only update Makefile.in's that are out of date
-W, --warnings=CATEGORY report the warnings falling in CATEGORY

Dependency tracking:
-i, --ignore-deps disable dependency tracking code
--include-deps enable dependency tracking code

Flavors:
--cygnus assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree
--foreign set strictness to foreign
--gnits set strictness to gnits
--gnu set strictness to gnu

Library files:
-a, --add-missing add missing standard files to package
--libdir=DIR directory storing library files
-c, --copy with -a, copy missing files (default is symlink)
-f, --force-missing force update of standard files

Warning categories include:
`gnu' GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes)
`obsolete' obsolete features or constructions
`override' user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables
`portability' portability issues (default in gnu and gnits modes)
`syntax' dubious syntactic constructs (default)
`unsupported' unsupported or incomplete features (default)
`all' all the warnings
`no-CATEGORY' turn off warnings in CATEGORY
`none' turn off all the warnings
`error' treat warnings as errors
