config.status now supports arguments to specify the files to instantiate; see config.status Invocation, for more details. Before, environment variables had to be used.
The tags of the commands to execute. The default is the arguments given to
AC_OUTPUT
andAC_CONFIG_COMMANDS
in configure.ac.
The files in which to perform ‘@variable@’ substitutions. The default is the arguments given to
AC_OUTPUT
andAC_CONFIG_FILES
in configure.ac.
The files in which to substitute C
#define
statements. The default is the arguments given toAC_CONFIG_HEADERS
; if that macro was not called, config.status ignores this variable.
The symbolic links to establish. The default is the arguments given to
AC_CONFIG_LINKS
; if that macro was not called, config.status ignores this variable.
In config.status Invocation, using this old interface, the example would be:
config.h: stamp-h stamp-h: config.h.in config.status CONFIG_COMMANDS= CONFIG_LINKS= CONFIG_FILES= \ CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h ./config.status echo > stamp-h Makefile: Makefile.in config.status CONFIG_COMMANDS= CONFIG_LINKS= CONFIG_HEADERS= \ CONFIG_FILES=Makefile ./config.status
(If configure.ac does not call AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
, there is
no need to set CONFIG_HEADERS
in the make rules. Equally
for CONFIG_COMMANDS
, etc.)
