add it back then. for some reason it works for me, so it may be because of different autoscrew versions perhaps. don't know, don't care ;) > Furthermore, this autosh*t stuff is modifying some files (as warned by > Tamas previously): > > [ma...@pilar:wmaker.git]$ git status > # On branch autogen > # Changed but not updated: > # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) > # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) > # > # modified: INSTALL > # modified: install-sh > # modified: missing > # modified: mkinstalldirs > # > > I am no expert on this configuration stuff, and quite frankly I don't > foresee my motivation getting higher to learn about this mess. So > people with the power out there, please advice :-) me neither, but i want to get it to a stage that makes everyone happy-ish, and at that point run away fast into far far away. i think our INSTALL should be renamed, then compare what's in the wm source root before and after having run autogen/configure -- the difference should be added to gitignore.
