No ./configure in GitHub .Should I run autoconf ?

[Dnu12]

Hi !

 I cloned this repo and tried to install it using auto tools( configure; make;make install ) but I couldn't find the configure script in the repo . So I tried to run 'autoconf' ,it did generate configure script but I got error messages .am I missing something ?

Use ./autogen.sh

But in README file ,it was mentioned to run 'configure' script ( in section 'building PCRE2 using auto tools' ).I could not find anything about 'autogen.sh' in README file. Is it generally followed to run autogen.sh ? Sorry of being ignorant but at least it could be mentioned in the docs .(I'm happy to make the change.)

The README file gives you the steps to follow when you use a release. You don't need to run autogen in that case (maybe that would need to be clarified).

@PhilipHazel could you update the doc? Should be trivial.

@ltrzesniewski Thanks ! I have the configure file when I use a release .

I have updated the README file to state that ./autogen.sh must be run if the files are downloaded from Git.
