autoconf

[dwaggott]

What's the correct way to use autoconf during install? It wasn't explicit in the INSTALL file. Naively, I tried autoconf configure.ac and got an error.

$as_echo "" >&6; }
{ $as_echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result:  To change installtion path, use:" >&5
$as_echo " To change installtion path, use:" >&6; }
{ $as_echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result:     ./configure --prefix NEW-PATH" >&5
$as_echo "    ./configure --prefix NEW-PATH" >&6; }
{ $as_echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: " >&5
$as_echo "" >&6; }
configure.ac:19: 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:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR

i have the same issue. The INSTALL instructions are really rudimentary for the important parts.
I dont know how, I have a configure file now (i typed autoconf which only threw an error), but it simply fails and complains about install.sh etc is missing. Is this git repository complete? Did anybody successfully build lobSTR from this?
