configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. get the source code from SVN
2. run ./configure
3. get the error: configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or 
shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

The file install-sh is a symlink to /usr/share/automake-1.11/install-sh

On my Mac OS X system the file /usr/share/automake-1.11/install-sh
 do not exist. I have automake version 1.12 instead and not in /usr/share/

I have to run "autoreconf -vis" to get correct symlinks.

Please provide a bootstrap.sh script, document the use of "autoreconf -vis" in 
INSTALL file or something similar.

In fact you should not store in the repository files generated from other 
files. This includes Makefile.in, depcomp, configure, missing, aclocal.m4, 
install-sh
