[boinc_dev] RFC: Include man pages from Debian into SVN repository?

[Bernd Machenschalk]

I currently get

Checked out revision 13841
../_autosetup
Bootstrapping configure script and makefiles:
Checking version of 'make' >= 379... succeeded. (379)
Checking version of 'm4' >= 104... succeeded. (104)
Checking version of 'pkg-config' >= 15... succeeded. (15)
Checking version of 'autoconf' >= 258... succeeded. (259)
Checking version of 'automake' >= 108... succeeded. (108)
aclocal -I m4 && autoheader && automake && autoconf
Makefile.am:25: directory should not contain `/'
Something failed .... please check error-message and re-run when 
fixed.exiting...

Don't know which autotools versions you tested that Makefile.am with, 
but IMHO the error message is right.
Don't write
SUBDIRS = ... doc/manpages
in the toplevel Makefile.am, modify doc/Makefile.am instead (or create it).
