Re: cannot autoconf HURD

[Neal H Walfield <neal@walfield.org>]

Hi,

When I build the hurd from cvs, I do the following:

% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs login
No password
% cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs co hurd
% cd hurd
% autoconf
% mkdir build
% cd build
% ../configure
% make

Note that one really needs to build the hurd from a different directory;
there are makefiles errors (at least the last time that I checked).

Regards,
-Neal
