Next: Private Macros, Previous: Public Macros, Up: Autoconf macros supplied with Automake [Contents][Index]
Although using some of the following macros was required in past
releases, you should not use any of them in new code. All
these macros will be removed in the next major Automake version;
if you are still using them, running autoupdate should
adjust your configure.ac automatically (see Using autoupdate to Modernize
configure.ac in The Autoconf Manual).
Do it NOW!
AM_CONFIG_HEADER ¶Automake will generate rules to automatically regenerate the config
header. This obsolete macro is a synonym of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
today (see Other things Automake recognizes).
AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL ¶If the use of TIOCGWINSZ requires <sys/ioctl.h>, then
define GWINSZ_IN_SYS_IOCTL. Otherwise TIOCGWINSZ can be
found in <termios.h>. This macro is obsolete, you should
use Autoconf’s AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead.
AM_PROG_MKDIR_P ¶From Automake 1.8 to 1.9.6 this macro used to define the output
variable mkdir_p to one of mkdir -p, install-sh
-d, or mkinstalldirs.
Nowadays Autoconf provides a similar functionality with
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P (see Particular
Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual), however this defines
the output variable MKDIR_P instead. In case you are still
using the AM_PROG_MKDIR_P macro in your configure.ac,
or its provided variable $(mkdir_p) in your Makefile.am,
you are advised to switch ASAP to the more modern Autoconf-provided
interface instead; both the macro and the variable will be
removed in the next major Automake release.
AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS ¶Check to see if POSIX termios headers and functions are available on the
system. If so, set the shell variable am_cv_sys_posix_termios to
‘yes’. If not, set the variable to ‘no’. This macro is obsolete,
you should use Autoconf’s AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS instead.
