Before you try to build "ifolder", you need to build "simias". The command to
use for that is:
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<your-prefix-path> --with-runasclient
$ make
$ make install
Once you've installed simias, run the following commands to build ifolder:
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<same-prefix-path-as-simias>
$ make
$ make install
If you're aware of autotools behavior, then you might know that if you don't
pass --prefix option, then built binaries will be copied under /usr/local/.
There are quite a few dependencies for building simias and ifolder. Follow the
error messages in the output of "./autogen.sh" very closely. Install all
packages for which you receive an error.
Regarding Makefile.in query of yours - this typically happens when autoconf /
automake encountered some errors. Look at the initial output of "./autogen.sh"
very closely - before you see a line like "Running ./configure ...". Among one
of those "WARNING:" lines, there will be a few which are almost fatal - sorry,
I can't help you much without those errors.
If you still face problems, please attach the output of
$ ./autogen.sh [--prefix=..] > autogen-sh.log 2>&1
HTH,
Srinidhi.
