If you got your copy of gphoto2 packaged as a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 tarball,
skip this step. If you got gphoto2 from CVS, then you will have to prepare
-step 1, the configuration of the sources. For that, we supply you with
-a script called 'autogen.sh'. This skript is far from being perfect and
-we recommend that you prepare step 1 manually. That is, the following
-commands need to be executed in both gphoto2 and gphoto2/libgphoto2_port:
-
- - libtoolize --force --copy
- - gettextize --force --copy
- - aclocal -I/path/to/macros (these macros typically are in
- /opt/gnome/share/aclocal or /usr/share/aclocal)
- - autoheader
- - automake --add-missing --gnu
- - autoconf
-
-Not surprisingly, above commands will only work if you have
-
- - autoconf
- - automake (version >= 1.5)
- - libtool (version >= 1.4)
- - gettext (version >= 0.10.35)

+ ===============================
+
+ This skript is far from being perfect, but it works on my stock
+ Redhat 7.3 installation, provided you have the following packages
+ installed:
+
+ - automake (version 1.4-p5, package 1.4p5-4)
+ - autoconf (version 2.13, package 2.13-17)
+ - libtool (version 1.4.2, package 1.4.2-7)
+ - gettext (version 0.11.1, package 0.11.1-2)
+
+ Just run './autogen.sh', and you may even supply it with the
+ parameters to ./configure.in from step 1 and spare yourself step
+ 1.
