2.1 Bootstrapping

If you have cloned the package from git, you will need to bootstrap it first. Otherwise, if you are installing the package from the tarball, skip this section and proceed directly to configure.

In order to bootstrap the package, you will need the following additional packages:

1. GNU autoconf https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/.
2. GNU automake https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/.
3. GNU libtool https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/.

To bootstrap the package, run

autoreconf -f -i -s

If it cannot find the AC_MFMOD macro, use the -I option to point it to the directory where mfmod.m4 file is installed, e.g.:

autoreconf -f -i -s -I /usr/local/share/aclocal/
