I agree it should have been documented. Before it used to be: ./configure --prefix==/tmp/netrek make make install Now it is: sh autogen.sh ./configure --prefix==/tmp/netrek make make make install You have to type make twice, as ranlib doesn't work the way it should, but it clears up the 2nd time you try. Also, you need a whole bunch of other software packages that you didn't used to need. Figure out what they are as when autogen crashes. I forgot what they were (i should have written down what I did).
