Well, here are a few quick links for programs like gnome, gnucash, galde, evolution, and some other projects. http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~omega/gnome/gnometut/gnometut/autogen.sh.html http://www.mail-archive.com/gnucash-devel%40gnucash.org/msg06320.html http://rpmfind.net/tools/glade/messages/1172.html http://lists.helixcode.com/archives/public/evolution-hackers/2000-August/000351.html Note that there is one fatal error that a lot of folks make when creating an autogen.sh file. One should never actually run ./configure at the end of an autogen.sh file. This is a big pain if you want to build in a directory other than the srcdir. APR does not currently work when building outside the src dir, that is something else I would like to fix. Mo DeJong Red Hat Inc
