Notices in `configure'
======================
The following macros manage version numbers for `configure' scripts.
Using them is optional.
- Macro: AC_PREREQ (VERSION)
Ensure that a recent enough version of Autoconf is being used. If
the version of Autoconf being used to create `configure' is earlier
than VERSION, print an error message to the standard error output
and do not create `configure'. For example:
AC_PREREQ(2.54)
This macro is the only macro that may be used before `AC_INIT', but
for consistency, you are invited not to do so.
- Macro: AC_COPYRIGHT (COPYRIGHT-NOTICE)
State that, in addition to the Free Software Foundation's
copyright on the Autoconf macros, parts of your `configure' are
covered by the COPYRIGHT-NOTICE.
The COPYRIGHT-NOTICE will show up in both the head of `configure'
and in `configure --version'.
- Macro: AC_REVISION (REVISION-INFO)
Copy revision stamp REVISION-INFO into the `configure' script,
with any dollar signs or double-quotes removed. This macro lets
you put a revision stamp from `configure.ac' into `configure'
without RCS or `cvs' changing it when you check in `configure'.
That way, you can determine easily which revision of
`configure.ac' a particular `configure' corresponds to.
For example, this line in `configure.ac':
AC_REVISION($Revision: 1.30 $)
produces this in `configure':
#! /bin/sh
# From configure.ac Revision: 1.30
