1 13.4.8 ‘aclocal.m4’ at top level
1 --------------------------------
1 
1    If you do not have an ‘aclocal.m4’ file in your distribution, the
1 simplest is to concatenate the files ‘codeset.m4’, ‘fcntl-o.m4’,
1 ‘gettext.m4’, ‘glibc2.m4’, ‘glibc21.m4’, ‘iconv.m4’, ‘intdiv0.m4’,
1 ‘intl.m4’, ‘intldir.m4’, ‘intlmacosx.m4’, ‘intmax.m4’, ‘inttypes_h.m4’,
1 ‘inttypes-pri.m4’, ‘lcmessage.m4’, ‘lib-ld.m4’, ‘lib-link.m4’,
1 ‘lib-prefix.m4’, ‘lock.m4’, ‘longlong.m4’, ‘nls.m4’, ‘po.m4’,
1 ‘printf-posix.m4’, ‘progtest.m4’, ‘size_max.m4’, ‘stdint_h.m4’,
1 ‘threadlib.m4’, ‘uintmax_t.m4’, ‘visibility.m4’, ‘wchar_t.m4’,
1 ‘wint_t.m4’, ‘xsize.m4’ from GNU ‘gettext’’s ‘m4/’ directory into a
1 single file.  If you have suppressed the ‘intl/’ directory, only
1 ‘gettext.m4’, ‘iconv.m4’, ‘lib-ld.m4’, ‘lib-link.m4’, ‘lib-prefix.m4’,
1 ‘nls.m4’, ‘po.m4’, ‘progtest.m4’ need to be concatenated.
1 
1    If you are not using GNU ‘automake’ 1.8 or newer, you will need to
1 add a file ‘mkdirp.m4’ from a newer automake distribution to the list of
1 files above.
1 
1    If you already have an ‘aclocal.m4’ file, then you will have to merge
1 the said macro files into your ‘aclocal.m4’.  Note that if you are
1 upgrading from a previous release of GNU ‘gettext’, you should most
1 probably _replace_ the macros (‘AM_GNU_GETTEXT’, etc.), as they usually
1 change a little from one release of GNU ‘gettext’ to the next.  Their
1 contents may vary as we get more experience with strange systems out
1 there.
1 
1    If you are using GNU ‘automake’ 1.5 or newer, it is enough to put
1 these macro files into a subdirectory named ‘m4/’ and add the line
1 
1      ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
1 
1 to your top level ‘Makefile.am’.
1 
1    If you are using GNU ‘automake’ 1.10 or newer, it is even easier: Add
1 the line
1 
1      ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = --install -I m4
1 
1 to your top level ‘Makefile.am’, and run ‘aclocal --install -I m4’.
1 This will copy the needed files to the ‘m4/’ subdirectory automatically,
1 before updating ‘aclocal.m4’.
1 
1    These macros check for the internationalization support functions and
1 related informations.  Hopefully, once stabilized, these macros might be
1 integrated in the standard Autoconf set, because this piece of ‘m4’ code
1 will be the same for all projects using GNU ‘gettext’.
