README says to run ./bootstrap. You might want to have a separate README-hacking or README-dev for people working from checked-out sources. Then README will be relevant to a wider audience. Eventually, there will be a distributed source tarball that will already include all of the pieces generated by ./bootstrap. Wouldn't want to confuse poor users, making them think they need all of these esoteric tools just to compile from the tarball. Also, that build-requirements list is mostly for developers. There would be a much reduced set for non-developers starting from a tarball. Here's a small patch for the bootstrap script, - stop if any command fails - don't run ./configure Index: bootstrap =================================================================== --- bootstrap (revision 481184) +++ bootstrap (working copy) @@ -1,8 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh +set -e aclocal -I m4 autoheader libtoolize --automake automake autoconf -./configure --enable-warnings --prefix=/tmp/qpid-inst CXXFLAGS=-g -
