[Autogen-users] error when running make — using autogen generated makefile

[allan G. <gor...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile a websocket package, procedure used is :--
./autogen
./configure
make


I am getting libtool error at make time :-------
make

I searched on google & found these two link both use to state to run --
autoreconf -fi  command
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-870737-start-0.html
https://openlinuxforums.org/index.php?topic=3119.0


What exactly autoreconf -fi command will do ? Does it regenerate
configure.ac file ?
Is this sequence correct to recompile the package ?
autoreconf -fi
./autogen
./configure
make


Please suggest.
