I have not compiled in Linux before so I may be doing things completely
wrong if so tell me what I am doing wrong.

I downloaded geda-utils-1.4.1 and put it in my local directory.

I modified the source file for convert_sym to fix some conversions from
my ViewDraw files.

Then from that directory I did a 

make convert_sym 

I got two errors. The first one was a typo on I line I did not go near.
How is that possible? I was easily able to fix it.

The second was a problem with config.h

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/backup/Work/geda-utils-1.4.1/geda-utils-1.4.1/src $ make
convert_sym
cc     convert_sym.c   -o convert_sym
convert_sym.c:59:77: error: config.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [convert_sym] Error 1

Looking at the source the line is:

#include <config.h> /* added by AVH for integration into the gEDA
tarball */

AVH is not listed as an author or modifier in the comments. So I do not
know who he is or when this happened, or where I find config.h.

In the directory above the src directory there is a config.h.in, a
config.sub, config.guess, configure, and a configure.ac files. Do I have
to do something with these? What? Is it documented somewhere? I do not
know what I should be looking for.

Finally when I finish making my changes, who do I send the updated
program file to?

Kip
