Remove autoconf requirement or stop committing configure #66

Closed dharple closed 3 years ago

Stop requiring that users install autoconf / automake to run autoreconf --install when they download a copy of detox directly from GitHub.

Ugh. Unfortunately, the files I committed on Ubuntu 20.04 didn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 because of a difference in the automake version within Makefile and src/Makefile.

This is not true of the dist version. The dist version of the Makefiles don't contain a reference to automake-1.whatever.

No, thats wrong. It's referencing the correct copy of automake in the dist copy...
