Re: [orbitcpp-list] Yep, I'm the FNG

[Adam Y. <ay...@fo...>]

config.log had nothing in it.  I think that is only used once the
compilation process starts...

Here's the result of running auotgen.  Does Autoget require ORBIT_LIBS
to be set from my shell?  If so, what is it looking for?

Once I get through this, I'll update the HACKING file with these lessons
learned.

I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

You should add the contents of `/usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
