I have added a ./autogen.sh script that calls the auto* tools
with the appropriate arguments, and updated the HACKING files
accordingly.
So, those of you that "cvs up", simply type:
./autogen.sh
after updating.
I really wonder if this primitive script really works on some
non-linux platforms. I will commit an improved version later.
Why not just use autoreconf which is usually installed with the
autotools.
Yeah, I totally forgot about this. In the HACKING file I read this:
The autoreconf script does not always run these as might be expected.
Does this still apply ? I think it would be best to just use
"autoreconf" and give good instructions for uncommon cases in HACKING.
