3.5 Configuring Other Packages in Subdirectories
================================================
In most situations, calling `AC_OUTPUT' is sufficient to produce
`Makefile's in subdirectories. However, `configure' scripts that
control more than one independent package can use `AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS'
to run `configure' scripts for other packages in subdirectories.
-- Macro: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS (DIR ...)
Make `AC_OUTPUT' run `configure' in each subdirectory DIR in the
given whitespace-separated list. If a given DIR is not found, no
error is reported, so a `configure' script can configure whichever
parts of a large source tree are present. If a given DIR contains
`configure.in' but no `configure', the Cygnus `configure' script
found by `AC_CONFIG_AUXDIR' is used.
The subdirectory `configure' scripts are given the same command
line options that were given to this `configure' script, with
minor changes if needed (e.g., to adjust a relative path for the
cache file or source directory). This macro also sets the output
variable `subdirs' to the list of directories `DIR ...'.
`Makefile' rules can use this variable to determine which
subdirectories to recurse into. This macro may be called multiple
times.
