[etherlab-users] errors with make modules

[Dusty Clark]

Florian,

Yes, that was helpful; I was able to use mercurial to clone the repository.
However, as a LInux noob, I'm still having problems. ;)

So I have the files in $home/etherlab-default, and I notice there is no:
configure.sh
config.h.in
config.h
aclocal.m4
stamp-h
when comparing the tree to the one from, say -r1824. Clearly the GNU
autotools are needed to make configure.sh from configure.ac, so we invoke:
autoheader
touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog
touch stamp-h
aclocal
autoconf
(based in instructions I found here:
http://www.openismus.com/documents/linux/automake/automake.shtml)

Take a look at config.log, and we have a problem:
configure:1896: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in autoconf
"."/autoconf

configure.am has AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([autoconf]), and from the GNU autoconf
documentation this means it requires this directory (and its contents) to
generate AC_OUT. There is an /autoconf in the -r1824 tree, but not in the hg
cloned /etherlab-default.

As we see in the transaction:

[root at schwarzwald ethercat-default]# ./configure --enable-generic=yes
--enable-8139too=no --with-linux-dir=/usr/src/linux
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in autoconf
"."/autoconf

Obviously I'm doing something wrong, or am completely missing an important
step in using the autotools to get the files all  set up. Please advise...
