A little new to this stuff, sorry if this is obvious. <br><br>I just got git and then gitted (if that's a word) the libkdtree stuff :<br><br>>git clone git://git.debian.org/git/libkdtree/libkdtree.git<br><br>And git got stuff. But I noticed I have no configure script, which did exist (but didn't really work) in the older distros.
<br><br>So it looks like the git distro is missing something??</blockquote><div><br>Hi Eric,<br><br>I think by now (sorry for the delay...) you figured out that you had to run autogen.sh.<br><br>However I tend to think that we should provide "./configure". The "autoreconf" part (emulated with
autogen.sh) should be done by the project developers so that the deployment on other machines does not involve a dependency on autoconf tools (but rather on perl & make). That's why I left it intentionally in the project, originaly.
