NAME

       acr — autoconf replacement

SYNOPSIS

       acr [-dDehmnprvwx] [-o file] [file | args]

DESCRIPTION

       ACR tries to replace the autoconf functionality generating a full compatible "configure" script. The main
       difference is that ACR uses shell script instead of m4, and final generated script looks smaller, faster,
       easy to read and maintain.

       There's  a  new concept that consists on adding simple rules. And trying to skip all programming and non-
       portable stuff. That breaks standarization of software packages.

       -d --debug
               Runs ACR in debug mode. This will show  a  branch  tree  for  all  command  calls,  allowing  the
               developer to see if the target script is parsed properly.

       -D --dist
               Scans  current  project  directory,  resets  to  the initial state and creates a distname tarball
               'pkgname-version.tar.gz'.

       -e --embed
               Embeds configure.acr into the final configure script.

       -h --help
               Show the usage message to the console.

       -m --makefile
               Creates a sample "Makefile.acr" using configure.acr file.

       -n --do-nothing
               Do not create the final configure script.

       -o --output [file]
               Generate the configure script into a different filename.

       -p --progress-bar
               Show progress bar.

       -r      Recovery mode. See acr-cat(1) for more information.

       -s      Strip default code generation, this is flag parsing and system checks.

       -v ---version
               Show version information.

       -w ---word -[number]
               Cats the 'configure.acr' file and colorizes the desired word number.

       -x --exec
               Generates and executes the configure.acr directly without creating the "configure" file. You  can
               also pass the cmdline flags like --prefix, etc.
