Re: [SyncEvolution] Building from git fails

Investigating, I found that src/Makefile.am in git is different from
src/Makefile.am in the tarballs, having a different list of backends and
templates. Why would there be a non-working makefile in git, but a
working one in the tarballs?
Hmm, it seems this makefile is not actually in git, but somehow git
didn't tell me that. Right, all other version systems I know would
report "file unknown" instead of "nope, no differences" when I ask it
to
compare the local file with the repository, but nooo, not git... I guess
it really wants people like me, who wants things to work *without*
headbanging, to continue to hate it...
Well, I think I found the answer: we're apparently supposed to rerun the
autogen script whenever we update the git checkout, it doesn't
automatically reconfigure itself like most other automake-based projects
do, for some reason...
