[PATCH] aclocal: add m4 search path info to --help |
Date: |
Thu, 20 Jan 2022 02:23:31 -0500 |
Add a short summary to --help of the current paths that will be
searched. Make sure to omit this from the man page when running
help2man since pre-inst-env specifically clears some and others
to the current build directory.
* bin/aclocal.in: Include m4 search paths in usage.
* doc/local.mk: Run help2man with AUTOMAKE_HELP2MAN=true.
