The git  archive doesn't  contain pre-built configuration  scripts for

UNIXish platforms.  To generate them say



  sh autogen.sh



which in turn depends on the following packages:



  automake (1.10.1)

  libtool (2.2.4)

  autoconf (2.62)



The versions given  in parentheses are known to  work.  Newer versions

should work too, of course.   Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper

file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.



The autogen.sh script  now checks the version of  above three packages

whether they match the numbers  above.  Otherwise it will complain and

suggest either upgrading or using  an environment variable to point to

a more recent version of the required tool(s).



Note that  `aclocal' is provided  by the `automake' package  on Linux,

and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).





For static builds which  don't use platform specific optimizations, no

configure script is necessary at all; saying



  make setup ansi

  make



should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).
