[Sablevm-developer] building from CVS

[David P. B. <db...@CS...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build SableVM from CVS but I'm not sure how to generate
the configure script (last time I cheated and copy it from the
release...).

I am not at all familiar with the autoconf/automake process.  Reading on
the web didn't help.

I tried running autoconf and I got:
ibou:~/tmp21/sablevm/sablevm> autoconf
configure.ac:9: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
      m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:31: error: possibly undefined macro:
AC_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.ac:122: error: possibly undefined macro:
AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
configure.ac:123: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
ibou:~/tmp21/sablevm/sablevm>=20
	   =20
My version of autoconf is 2.50.

My system is Debian GNU/Linux/PPC.

What commands do I need to run and in what order?

Thanks,
David
