RE: What to check into repository?

[Hongliang Wang]

Thanks for your advice.

I checked in Makefile.in Makefile.am and configure.ac. And also an execute file 
called autogen.sh, because this file can be used to generate other things 
automatically. However, when I check out and execute the autogen.sh and make, 
compiling fails with the following error

address@hidden> make
cd . && \
  /bin/sh /home/jigsaw/dev/jhwgu/src/jz/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu  
Makefile
Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
Makefile.am:10: `dist_doc_DATA' is used but `docdir' is undefined
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Here is the my autogen.sh
==================================================
#!/bin/sh
# Run this to generate all the initial makefiles, etc.
# This was lifted from the Gimp, and adapted slightly by
# Raph Levien .

        echo

        echo "Download the appropriate package for your distribution,"

}

        echo "(or a newer version if it is available)"

        DIE=1
}

        exit 1

        echo "I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish "
        echo "to pass any to it, please specify them on the $0 command line."

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
