I'll learn to build first eventually...
The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
UNIXish platforms. To generate them say
sh autogen.sh
which in turn depends on the following packages:
automake (1.10.1)
libtool (2.2.4)
autoconf (2.62)
The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions
should work too, of course. Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper
file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.
The autogen.sh script now checks the version of above three packages
whether they match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and
suggest either upgrading or using an environment variable to point to
a more recent version of the required tool(s).
Note that `aclocal' is provided by the `automake' package on Linux,
and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).
For static builds which don't use platform specific optimizations, no
configure script is necessary at all; saying
make setup ansi
make
should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).
