Add instructions to install m4 before running make #1

Closed joaopaulosm closed 6 years ago

Some systems might not have m4 package installed by default, which will cause an error when running make prepare. Perhaps is a good idea to add a reminder to install it on the README page.

I am thinking that we need the preparation scripts to install all required packages for EPICS base, and others E3 modules with the automatic switch between Debian and Redhat distribution. I will put m4 package in that script later.

Started to work with scripts directory based on my old scripts, However, it would be better to keep the separated repository and submodules, because it can be extended to be generic package automation scripts

jeonghanlee commented 6 years ago

with commit f23b08d , I added the pkg automation independent repository in submodule. So, 

make pkgs

will do the dirty work for us.
