Note that the +CVS snapshots on the Quagga website do not require these tools, everything +is already setup ready to run 'configure', and if you have trouble building +from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot instead. + +If you must build from plain CVS checkouts, the versions which should work +at least with: + + automake: 1.8.5 + autoconf: 2.59 + libtool: 1.5.6 + texinfo: 4.7-4 + +To create the required files, run either the 'update-autotools' script +provided, or else the 'autoreconf' command supplied with your autoconf +package. After this you may run configure. You will need a recentish version +of GNU Texinfo in order to build doc/quagga.info, which is not supplied in +CVS, but is supplied in the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website. You will +need to run make to create this file. + +Please refer to "Building and Installing Quagga" above for further +instructions. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
