Re: [QStat-devx] Current CVS how to build?

[Steven H. <ki...@mu...>]

Hmm not had to download said tools for building anything else and I
build almost all things from source which makes me question how
standard it is?
Not sure how helpful it is not being able to compile from CVS
without installing additional tools especially as there is no mention
of it in the docs

Also just installed autoconf and it still fails:
./autogen.sh 
+ which autoreconf
+ autoreconf -i
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/autoconf/Autom4te/General.pm line 459.
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 16777215

pkg_info |grep autoc
autoconf-2.53_1   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms

Seems like a bit to much pain to ask people to go through just to compile
the CVS version when a 10 line Makefile did the job nicely.
