Makefile.cvs missing

[Mate Soos]

The github repo doesn't have a Makefile.cvs:

$ cat Makefile.cvs
default: all

all:
        aclocal
        autoheader
        libtoolize --copy
        automake --copy --add-missing
        automake
        autoconf

This is needed when checking out the repo so I can do:

$ make -f Makefile.cvs 
aclocal
autoheader
libtoolize --copy
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, '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'
automake --copy --add-missing
configure.ac:16: installing './compile'
configure.ac:3: installing './config.guess'
configure.ac:3: installing './config.sub'
configure.ac:7: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:7: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
parallel-tests: installing './test-driver'
automake
autoconf

and then I can do ./configure

Huh? CVS? I'm confused. I never have those in my projects, what tools are expecting them?

[Mate Soos]

Ahhh, I'm wrong, I could just run "autoreconf --install" instead of all that crap above :D Sorry! I am too old-school -- they used to have this Makefile.cvs in the repos so that you could run make -f Makefile.cvs and generate the "configure" script. Sorry!

Not a bug :)
