[libmspack Patch] autogen.sh

Attached is a patch to add an autogen.sh script if you would like to add it to libmspack.
libmspack-0.5-cef3a03_autogen.sh.patch.txt
I messed up on that autogen patch. I'm pretty sure that aclocal should be run before libtoolize.
Thanks for your patch. I'd like to check -- does this do something different from what rebuild.sh does today? For example, would it be useful to run the autotools without doing a cleanup, configure or make?
rebuild.sh runs cleanup.sh, then autoreconf, then performs a configure, make, etc.
autoreconf runs aclocal, libtoolize, autoconf, autoheader and automake. Example:
$ ./cleanup.sh
$ mkdir m4
$ autoreconf -vfi
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --force
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
configure.ac:27: installing './ar-lib'
configure.ac:25: installing './compile'
configure.ac:29: installing './config.guess'
configure.ac:29: installing './config.sub'
configure.ac:6: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:6: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './INSTALL'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
No, I guess it doesn't do anything more. I didn't realize that rebuild.sh runs autoreconf. I don't like to have the script run configure and make though. After I run autotools, I usually like to setup my build in a different directory, then run configure and make from there.
Thanks for the feedback. I've changed the build scripts slightly.
- cleanup.sh will delete all auto-generated / compiled files
- autogen.sh will recreate the autotools files (using autoreconf), it will not run cleanup.sh, configure or make
- rebuild.sh will run cleanup.sh, autogen.sh, configure, make
