Description Hubert Figuiere 2004-10-15 07:48:41 UTC 
autogen.sh shouldn't run configure because it must be run from the source dir
while configure should be run from the build dir, AND build dir might be
different from the source dir. (really convenient when cross-compiling or when
sharing source trees acrosse different platforms)
Comment 1 Danny Kukawka 2005-11-08 10:17:50 UTC 
IMO it's o.k. to run configure. If you build HAL you need to run ./configure 
with your own options and at least autogen.sh is not part of the distributed 
package and you need configure to run make dist and distcheck.
