✨ ACR(1) — the autoconf replacement ✨

bestie, this is the manual page for acr, the autoconf replacement 💖 It's a whole vibe. ACR tries to replace autoconf functionality and generates a full compatible "configure" script 🦋 The main difference is that ACR uses shell script instead of m4, so the final generated script looks smaller, faster, easy to read and maintain 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so there's a new concept here, and it's giving simple rules 🫶 The idea is to add simple rules and try to skip all the programming and non-portable stuff. ngl that's lowkey the bit that breaks standardization of software packages 💀

Here's every flag you can use, bestie. Don't skip any, they're all important 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -d, --debug — runs ACR in debug mode 🔍 It shows a branch tree for all command calls, so the developer can see if the target script is parsed properly 🌈
  • -D, --dist — scans the current project directory, resets to the initial state, and creates a pkgname-version.tar.gz tarball 🎀 The name is distname in the original, so the tarball is named pkgname-version.tar.gz using the package name and version 💜
  • -e, --embed — embeds configure.acr into the final configure script 🦋
  • -h, --help — shows the usage message in the console 🙈
  • -m, --makefile — creates a sample Makefile.acr using the configure.acr file 🍓
  • -n, --do-nothing — does not create the final configure script 💅
  • -o, --output [file] — generates the configure script into a different filename ✨
  • -p, --progress-bar — shows a progress bar 🌈
  • -r — recovery mode 🩹 See acr-cat(1) for more information 💖
  • -s — strips the default code generation, which is the flag parsing and system checks 🪄
  • -v, ---version — shows version information 🔥
  • -w, ---word -[number] — cats the configure.acr file and colorizes the desired word number 🌸
  • -x, --exec — generates and executes configure.acr directly without creating the configure file 😭 You can also pass cmdline flags like --prefix, etc. 🫶
⚠️ bestie, the -v and -w entries show ---version and ---word with three dashes, exactly as they appear in the original page. Copy them as-is 💀
