autoreconf - Update generated configuration files
autoreconf
[OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...
Run ‘autoconf’ (and ‘autoheader’, ‘aclocal’,
‘automake’, ‘autopoint’ (formerly ‘gettextize’), and ‘libtoolize’ where appropriate)
repeatedly to remake the GNU Build System files in specified DIRECTORIES
and their subdirectories (defaulting to ‘.’).
By default, it only remakes those
files that are older than their sources. If you install new versions of
the GNU Build System, you can make ‘autoreconf’ remake all of the files by
giving it the ‘--force’ option.
