}


c. 生成文档

autoreconf  -i  提示的错误信息如下：

Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found
Makefile.am: installing './COPYING' using GNU General Public License v3 file
Makefile.am:     Consider adding the COPYING file to the version control system
Makefile.am:     for your code, to avoid questions about which license your project uses
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1


解决方法
list="INSTALL NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING"
touch  $list

重新生成之后  ./configure

d. make && install 

make install 

备注：或者使用autoscan 帮助生成部分代码，也是一个不错的选择
