Hello Andrew, to avoid the same problem in future it could make sense to add a file
autogen.sh ---------- #!/bin/sh set -e test -f configure.ac || { echo "Please, run this script in the top level project directory." exit } libtoolize --copy aclocal -I m4 autoconf autoheader automake --add-missing --copy echo "For installation instructions, please, refer to file INSTALL." ---------- If somebody wants to use a different version of autotools, he can simply run the script.
