Pavel, thanks for timely response.
I'm brand new to using automake/autoconf, and I'm using it to package a commercial
distribution of my company's product for a client. I need the package to work on
both a Linux/GNU as well as an SGI/IRIX system. When I test the distribution on the
SGI,
the ./configure tries to use the *.am files and I get all kinds of dependency
problems, and
I don't think my client will have automake or autoconf. Shouldn't configure NOT
require
(nor even try to use) autoconf or automake? If not, why are the files automatically
packaged
with the distribution?
Tom
