Here are some things you should have on your system in order to +compile the git repository tree : + +- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50) + (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!) +- GNU Libtool >=2.2 + (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) + +If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap" +script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the +tree configuration. + INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: -- 2.34.1
