`configure` and `Makefile` are included in official releases of Stow,
|
||||||
|
but they are deliberately omitted from the git repository because they
|
||||||
|
are autogenerated. Therefore if you are installing directly from git,
|

|
you first need to generate them as follows.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First `cd` to the directory containing the source code (and this
|
||||||
|
file), and then run:
|
||||||
|
|

|
autoreconf -iv
