How do I build software with no "configure", only "configure.in.in"?

Question

Fedora 12
kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686

I have downloaded kdirstat from cvs. And I want to build and install it.

However, there is no configure script file. The only file I have is a configure.in.in.

How can I create the configure script file?

Answer 1

by looking at the 'cvs of kdirstat' i would guess that you should call

% bash admin/cvs.sh dist

which should create 'configure' and everything else.
