First, thanks for the efforts to get a more up to date version of this program!
It looks like this repo was populated from an old source code distribution that was ready to build. As such, it includes some extra build files that don't belong under source control.
I recommend removing these files (git rm
):
At the same time, those files alone with compile
and config.h
should be added to .gitignore
so that git won't try to operate on them.
I also recommend adding an autogen.sh
file that contains the build steps for setting up the environment. This is as simple as:
aclocal && autoconf && automake --add-missing
And also write it up in the README.
I'm preparing a PR with all of this.
