Build instructions do not work as-is. #179

Closed ajduncan closed 4 months ago

ajduncan commented 4 years ago

Sorry in advance if I misunderstood the instructions. Just giving some hopefully friendly feedback on documentation, in case it's confusing or frustrating to a new user wanting to compile tslib from source.

  1. The standard "./configure; make; make install" does not work as referenced: "Apart from building the latest tarball release, running ./configure, make and make install, ..." - maybe this text should be removed?

  2. There is no configure script to run ./configure as-is. The instructions aren't clear in README.md, regarding "Use the configure script to enable only the modules you need." ... ./configure --enable-static, etc, does not seem clear.

Using cmake works to compile and install tslib.

instructions only apply to release packages. for the git checkout, you need to run autogen.sh first
