-When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate
-the build system files.
-
-You will need a set of additional tools typical for building from git,
-including:
-- autoconf
-- automake
-- libtool
-
-autogen.sh will check for recent enough versions and complain if you don't have
-them. You can also specify specific versions of automake and autoconf with
---with-automake and --with-autoconf
-
-Check autogen.sh options by running autogen.sh --help
-
-autogen.sh can pass on arguments to configure
-
-When you have done this once, you can use autoregen.sh to re-autogen with
-the last passed options as a handy shortcut. Use it.
-
-After the autogen.sh stage, you can follow the directions listed in
-"COMPILING FROM SOURCE"
