Hey, That's my first post, don't know if it's the right place to ask, so please be gentle :).
I work at a company where we use Debian on our servers. Whenever we want to deploy new versions of our software, we build a package, upload it to our private deb repository and then install it on the servers. My current assignment is to make a package out of 3rd party library sources that my company bought. Autotools are used to build the library. Sources contain configure.in and Makefile.am files. I am able to build the library by issuing the following commands: aclocal -I m4 -I /usr/share/aclocal autoheader libtoolize --automake automake -a autoconf ./configure make I'd like to create a package that uses CDBS. I thought I could use the autotools.mk class but it assumes that configure script already exists. But: I put the sources into our svn and I didn't put configure in there because it can be generated from other files. When our automated build system checks out from svn and performs fakeroot debian/rules binary, it fails because there's no configure script in there. What is the recommended way of handling this situation? I could just put configure into svn, but I'd like to avoid that. I could write my own rules that call autoconf and friends instead of using CDBS. But I don't like any of these two solutions.
