Install libtool, autoconf and automake on your machine. With these tools
installed, the included reconf script will install them into the Sablot
directory, or rebuild them as required when you update the
pre-distribution configuration files.
>From what I sent you, you can delete everything in the base directory
except the following files:
Makefile.am
confdefs.h
config.h.in
configure.in
stamp-h.in
src/
doc/
reconf
>From there you can get yourself a working distribution which does not
require the user to have libtool, autoconf and automake installed on their
machine by running the following:
./reconf
./configure
make dist
I was going to try this again against Sablotron-0.42, but I couldn't get a
download of the current source to complete. Is there a problem with the
gingerall site?
