No recursive option in autoreconf ?

[L. A. Pritchett-Sheats]

Hello -

I couldn't find a mail list for autoreconf, I hope this is the correct
list to direct this question....

I'm building a software package that relies on GSL (GNU Scientific
Library) and OOL (Open Optimization Library). Both use the GNU auto tool
set to configure and build the libraries. I've included both as nested
packages in my source, however I'm running into problems when I run
autoreconf. Automake exits with an error in both packages when I run
'autoreconf -fvi'. I'd like to create a bootstrap script that 'skips' the
directories where I have GSL and OOL installed. I searched the archives
and saw a few posts for requests for a --norecursive option. However my
version of autoreconf (2.59) does not recognize this option. Is there a
newer version that does? Or am I using the wrong syntax?

Thank you.
