Re: [Quickfix-developers] Building Quickfix from CVS

Dale,

To do a build from the repository, you would need to first run the bootstrap 
script.  Those files are generated by autotools, and different versions will 
generate them differently, which is why we do not keep them checked in.

After running the bootstrap script, you can then follow the standard build 
instructions.  You will need to have autotools installed which is an 
additional dependency on top of the normal ones.
