12.6.3 Invoking the `autopoint' Program
---------------------------------------
autopoint [OPTION]...
The `autopoint' program copies standard gettext infrastructure files
into a source package. It extracts from a macro call of the form
`AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(VERSION)', found in the package's
`configure.in' or `configure.ac' file, the gettext version used by the
package, and copies the infrastructure files belonging to this version
into the package.
12.6.3.1 Options
................
`-f'
`--force'
Force overwriting of files that already exist.
`-n'
`--dry-run'
Print modifications but don't perform them. All file copying
actions that `autopoint' would normally execute are inhibited and
instead only listed on standard output.
12.6.3.2 Informative output
...........................
`--help'
Display this help and exit.
`--version'
Output version information and exit.
`autopoint' supports the GNU `gettext' versions from 0.10.35 to the
current one, 0.14.4. In order to apply `autopoint' to a package using
a `gettext' version newer than 0.14.4, you need to install this same
version of GNU `gettext' at least.
In packages using GNU `automake', an invocation of `autopoint'
should be followed by invocations of `aclocal' and then `autoconf' and
`autoheader'. The reason is that `autopoint' installs some autoconf
macro files, which are used by `aclocal' to create `aclocal.m4', and
the latter is used by `autoconf' to create the package's `configure'
script and by `autoheader' to create the package's `config.h.in'
include file template.
The name `autopoint' is an abbreviation of `auto-po-intl-m4'; the
tool copies or updates mostly files in the `po', `intl', `m4'
directories.
