Configure file missing?

[DanielLeushuis]

Hi,

In the COMPILE.TXT there is an instruction as following:

Linux and other GNU systems

./configure && make

to install qstat run "make install"

to see which configuration parameters can be tweaked, run
"./configure --help"

However, I don't see any configure file except "configure.ac". Am I missing some install steps?

.ac file means you must build it with autoconf... Check whether there are other files with "auto" or something like that

Thanks, I fixed it by installing automake:

brew install automake

After that running autogen.sh and after that the configure file was created. Running that and running 'make' generated the needed files.
