[vorbis-dev] cvs: debian updates and autogen.sh trouble

[Stefan Bender]

Hello,

I couldn't help noticing that the debian build system in cvs was
changed. As I used to compile and install from cvs, I discovered
a small problem regarding autogen.sh. It's called in debian/rules,
before the obj-dir is created (and changed into and ../configure is
started). At least on my system autogen.sh implicitly runs
./configure, so the original source path is already configured and
the following ../configure fails with a hint, to run "make distclean"
in the source path first. Simply changing ../configure into
../autogen.sh didn't help either, because configure looks for
./ltool rather than ../ltool (or something like that).
Changing the call of "./autogen.sh" to "./autogen.sh --help" did it
for me, because then it just creates configure, prints a help message
and then exits so ../configure can be run without complaining about
an already configured source path.
Of course this wouldn't be a problem in the release version because
it already has configure and autogen.sh isn't needed at all; but
maybe the debian/ maintainer would like to look into it. :)

Regards, Stefan.
