automake: Private Macros

1 6.4.3 Private Macros
1 --------------------
1
1 The following macros are private macros you should not call directly.
1 They are called by the other public macros when appropriate. Do not
1 rely on them, as they might be changed in a future version. Consider
1 them as implementation details; or better, do not consider them at all:
1 skip this section!

1 ‘_AM_DEPENDENCIES’
1 ‘AM_SET_DEPDIR’
1 ‘AM_DEP_TRACK’
1 ‘AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS’
1 These macros are used to implement Automake’s automatic dependency
1 tracking scheme. They are called automatically by Automake when
1 required, and there should be no need to invoke them manually.
1
1 ‘AM_MAKE_INCLUDE’
1 This macro is used to discover how the user’s ‘make’ handles
1 ‘include’ statements. This macro is automatically invoked when
1 needed; there should be no need to invoke it manually.
1
1 ‘AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP’
1 This is used to find a version of ‘install’ that can be used to
1 strip a program at installation time. This macro is automatically
1 included when required.
1
1 ‘AM_SANITY_CHECK’
1 This checks to make sure that a file created in the build directory
1 is newer than a file in the source directory. This can fail on
1 systems where the clock is set incorrectly. This macro is
1 automatically run from ‘AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE’.
