Re: autoconf macro directory

[Jerome BENOIT <jgmbenoit@mailsnare.net>]

Hello Fritz,

If you just want to build the driver from sources,
in general you want just to do the floowing sequence of command:

./configure
make
make install

You may have an `INSTALL' or `README' distributed within the source:
please read them for further information.

In general `autogen.sh' and the tools involved are meant to develop the driver:
I am quite sure that you do not want to do that.

hth,
Jerome
