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

Also installing automake still gives errors:

root@yoda:qstat2> ./autogen.sh
+ which autoreconf
+ autoreconf -i
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is updated

pkg_info |grep auto
autoconf-2.53_1     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms
automake-1.5,1      GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator

This is not convincing me this is a worth while exercise :(
