Is anyone else getting this build error?

Circa 2001-Jan-10 22:42:07 -0800 dixit Mo DeJong:

: Of course, that brings up an old issue. Why is there no configure
: file checked into the CVS? I really should be up to the developer to
: regen the configure file when changes are made to configure.in.

No; the 'configure' script should be regenerated by a Makefile rule.
Something like this:

  configure: configure.in Makefile.in
  	aclocal
	autoconf

This would fix the problem Mo encountered with an out-of-date
configure, and would also limit the CVS repository to "true" source
files rather than a combination of source and generated files.

: This also make it really easy to build out of the CVS, since you
: don't need to have the autotools installed on the box you want to
: build on.

The CVS stuff is pretty much for developments-savvy folks only.  If
you're using the CVS snapshots, you should have the auto* tools
installed.
