The Automake package contains the aclocal and automake programs
</para>

<sect2><title>Description</title>
<sect3><title>aclocal</title>
<para>
Automake includes a number of Autoconf macros which can be used in
your package; some of them are actually required by Automake in certain
situations. These macros must be defined in your aclocal.m4;
otherwise they will not be seen by autoconf.
</para>
<para>
The aclocal program will automatically generate aclocal.m4 files
based on the contents of configure.in. This provides a convenient
way to get Automake-provided macros, without having to search around.
Also, the aclocal mechanism is extensible for use by other packages.

<sect3><title>automake</title>
<para>
To create all the Makefile.in's for a package, run the automake
program in the top level directory, with no arguments. automake will
automatically find each appropriate Makefile.am (by scanning
configure.in) and generate the corresponding Makefile.in.
