Hello Eddy,
I simply cloned and tried to follow README.
It does not have configure.
When tried, "autoconf" it gave below error:
configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
It would be great if README lists dependancies if any.
Note: System: ubuntu 14.04
Regards,
Vishnu Patekar
