[Fedora-directory-devel] Re: autotools and summer of code

["Ahmed H. EL Zein" <zein gawab com>]

Hello FDS developers,
I have been trying to install FDS on my Debian box and both the 
Debian&Ububtu howto and the dsbuild tool are proving quite a headache! I 
would have liked to do a ./configure, setting up prefixes to suit me but 
I understand that is not easy right now!

I found these links:
http://code.google.com/soc-results.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fds-build/

and I wanted to ask what is the status of the move to an autotools build 
system! did the the work done by Adrian Bunk find its way into the 
source tree? if not what was wrong with his method and what would be 
more suitable if someone wanted to have a go at it!
