I downloaded the master tar file freeipmi-master.tar.gz and wanted to make a
build. The INSTALL file just says to do ./configure, however that script is
absent! That's pretty confusing, but after googling around I found out what
to do.
Can you please insert after the INSTALL line "The simplest way to compile this
package is:" a new item:
0. First install the autoconf package and run the "autoreconf -i" command.
Comment: The need to run autoreconf and furthermore with the -i flag is far
from obvious (to me at least, not being an experienced programmer).
Thanks,
Ole
