Description Thomas Wabner 2013-11-12 13:07:52 UTC 
Used latest version from github under fedora

After starting (as suggested in the manual) autogen.sh I get following errors.

Each of those errors can be corrected if I create the directories per hand. Possible some missing commands in autogen.sh (I'am not an autogen expert):

Running intltoolize...
cp: cannot create regular file ‘m4/intltool.m4’: No such file or directory
intltoolize: cannot copy '/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4' to 'm4/intltool.m4'

and later (after "mkdir m4" directory): 

Running automake-1.13...
configure.ac:9: error: required directory ./build-aux does not exist
cp: cannot create regular file ‘build-aux/install-sh’: No such file or directory
configure.ac:11: error: installing 'build-aux/install-sh'

    create m4 and build-aux directories (GNOME bug 712147)
    
    (this shouldn't be necessary with newer gnome-common)
