Use `bootstrap` instead of `autogen.sh`
Created by: juaristi
In my workplace, the edge firewall blocks pretty much any port different than 80/443/53. Thus, with wget I would run:
./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=../gnulib --no-bootstrap-sync --no-git --skip-po --copy
So that it grabs the pre-downloaded gnulib sources from ../gnulib
and doesn't attempt to download them from the Internet through a not-so-well-known git://
port.
This is just a specific use case, I'm not expecting you to tell my sysadmins to disable the firewall!
What I would like is that ./autogen.sh
accept the same command line options as bootstrap
does.
./autogen.sh
does not react to those options. I think it's ignoring them all. I don't really know what's the difference between both files. Searching the web seems like they do virtually the same thing, and they're both from gnulib, but I couldn't find much more info apart from that.
