Adding a script that builds the project from “maintainer state” and referencing it in the README may save you some aggravation.

Adding a script that builds the project from “maintainer state” and referencing it in the README may save you some aggravation.
- rogerbinns 11y agoNot really. Not many people have the whole autotools/automake tool chain installed, let alone document building tools, and whatever other processing the project does (eg SQLite uses some TCL scripts). So they'd have to go and get all those, obeying any version constraints. And after all that they'd end up at the same point as getting an archive intended by the maintainer for them to build and install.
- mietek 11y agoThat is the intended outcome.
