buildconf.sh failure #106

Open funkymalc opened 9 months ago

funkymalc commented 9 months ago

buildconf.sh fails due to missing m4 files in the m4 directory the source distribution of 5.34.0 and possibly other newer distributions.

The m4 directory is brought into this repository via a git submodule. git submodules are not included when git archive is used to create an archive. git archive is what GitHub uses to create the automatically-generated "Source Code" archives you see in the list of assets at e.g. https://github.com/indexdata/yaz/releases/latest. These downloads are thus unsuitable for use, but GitHub does not provide a way by which they can be hidden or disabled. You will want to download one of the manually-created archives from https://download.indexdata.com/pub/yaz/ which contain everything, including the submodules. Ideally, the developers of this project would attach the manually-created archives to their GitHub releases as additional assets and add a note to the GitHub release's notes directing users to the correct file.
