Generate Files
We must now generate the other files, using the following commands.
aclocal
autoconf
autoheader
automake
When we run `autoheader', it will remind us of any macros we forgot
to add to `acconfig.h'.
When we run `automake', it will want to add some files to our
distribution. It will add them automatically if we use the
`--add-missing' option.
By default, `automake' will run in GNU mode, which means that it
will want us to create certain additional files; as of this writing, it
will want `NEWS', `README', `AUTHORS', and `ChangeLog', all of which
are files which should appear in a standard GNU distribution. We can
either add those files, or run `automake' with the `--foreign' option.
Running these tools will generate the following files, all of which
are described in the next chapter.
* `aclocal.m4'
* `configure'
* `config.in'
* `Makefile.in'
* `stamp-h.in'
