Hi guys.
+
+I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do i do after i have CVS'ed 
+home this thing?
+
+Look below for my trial and (mostly) error.
+
+I would like to RTFM, but i don't find any :-(
+
+Pls help me!
+
+Btw, I run SuSE 7.0 if that helps anyone, and my computer is Y2K safe :-)
+
+----- cut here -----
+
+A loosers guide to automake! ;-)
+
+
+I have tried the following commands:
+aclocal  
+
+(i got myself an aclocal.m4)
+
+automake 
+
+automake: configure.in: required file `./install-sh' not found
+automake: configure.in: required file `./mkinstalldirs' not found
+automake: configure.in: required file `./missing' not found
+automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found
+automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./COPYING' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
+configure.in: 11: required file `./include/config.h.in' not found   
+
+automake -a
+
+automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
+automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
+automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
+automake: configure.in: installing `./config.guess'
+automake: configure.in: installing `./config.sub'
+automake: Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING'
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
+configure.in: 11: required file `./include/config.h.in' not found  
+
+autoconf
+
+This gives me some of the missing files in the step above.
+
+automake -a  (again...)
+
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
+configure.in: 11: required file `./include/config.h.in' not found  
+
+autoheader
+
+(silence...)
+
+automake -a (a final time...)
+
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
+automake: Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
