Building 1.76 -- missing configure and other files from v1.76.tar.gz

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest release build from:

https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/releases

i.e. at this time v1.76.tar.gz

It doesn't contain configure and other files needed to build and deploy the 
component.

So I got the tarball of 1.74 from google code, i.e.:

http://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.74.tar.gz

and copied the files required over to the folder where I untarred 1.76:

cp -p s3fs-1.74/src/Makefile.in s3fs-fuse-1.76/src/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/test/Makefile.in s3fs-fuse-1.76/test/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/doc/Makefile.in s3fs-fuse-1.76/doc/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/configure s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/install-sh s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/config.sub s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/config.guess s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/Makefile.in s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/missing s3fs-fuse-1.76/
cp -p s3fs-1.74/depcomp s3fs-fuse-1.76/

at that point the sequence below worked:

cd s3fs-fuse-1.76
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

and doing a "s3fs --version" confirms the successful installation:

Amazon Simple Storage Service File System 1.76

I'm hesitant though in using this in a production environment...

What is the correct way to build what downloadable from github (releases / 
master)?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please see https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/wiki/Installation-Notes

And you run first autogen.sh (after installing some package for building s3fs), 
after that run configure.

Thanks.

Doh! Sorry I missed the installation notes on github... could have saved asking 
a trivial question.

At any rate, thank you so much for the link -- followed the notes and got it 
installed like a charm.
