README missing steps to generate `configure` from `configure.ac`
The raw source tree has configure.ac
but no configure
. It would be helpful for the README to explain how to generate configure
.
The following sequence of commands is not successful:
$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
$ autoconf
configure.ac:35: 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:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.ac:63: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:78: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
$ ./configure
./configure: line 1852: syntax error near unexpected token `git-directory'
./configure: line 1852: `AX_IS_RELEASE(git-directory)'
