The configure script is typically generated by a build machine that has autotools installed, and included in a distribution tarball. The user unpacks the tarball and runs the configure script. He doesn't need the autotools and he doesn't generate the scirpt. Anyone building from the Fossil repository should IMO be prepared to run autogen & co., and to have other ancillary tools ready as well. --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
