Oh, ok. > You just need to execute './bootstrap' to generate the configure script. Ah, so simple! I even saw that script there, but didn't read it and made the wrong assumptions about what it's for. Didn't know about autoreconf before, it seems there are a few more steps in autotools than I've seen in other tools. Great that there's a wrapper for them all. Thanks for your help!
