No autogen.sh in release file

[My1]

not really much to say except that the readme calls for it, but the release does not have it.

Hi,

You can compile the release version by directly using configure.ac instead of autogen.sh

Try this: ./configure

Please close this issue if your issue is solved.

if that's the case I would call this a documentation issue and should maybe be added to the readme.

If you were a familiar with compiling then you wouldn't face this issue, also the readme file in this repo already contains the instructions for building the source code.

Please don't forget to close the issue if your issue is solved.

I am a bit familiar with it but not all things have asked for ./configure, so I am not sure where to use configure especially if there are instructions attached, might be useful to either make the next release with the sh file or with updated instructions, as not everyone is a professional builder of stuff

The readme is referring to building it from source checked out from git, not a source tarball. The release tar.bz indeed doesn't have an autogen.sh as it is in a state that already ran autogen.sh (this is produced using make dist or make distcheck.

would it make sense if the readme inside the release would mention that? not sure how many people build this for what I basically just stumbled on this while i was trying to deal with the dependency fun of idevicerestore

I figured I should maybe just put the autogen.sh inside the archive...

Updated the README to reflect the difference between git source tree and release tarball.
