Problems when compiling
Hi and sorry for the forthcoming terminal output, the two mails in a
row, and the newbieness of the question,
I apparently cannot compile dpkg from
git://git.debian.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git
The steps that I have followed are as simple as cloning the git
repository in a folder and running autoconf and automake in order to
create the correct configure and makefiles but
the scripts fail.
Here is what the terminal shows if I try to compile it
root@debian:/home/daniel/dpkg# autoconf
root@debian:/home/daniel/dpkg# automake
configure.ac:7: required directory ./build-aux does not exist
configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).

Any guidance?
