First of all, there is no "configure" file.
We need use autogen.sh at first to create "configure" file.
Then in autogen.sh "configure" will be executed according to
user as root or non-root.
NACK, autogen needs to be run when running from a git checkout, but is
not present when building from a tarball.
You can modify that statement but blankly stating that autogen needs to
be run is wrong.
Well, I guess we need two sections. Thing is, README serves two goals
since we switched to gitlab. The first one, the old one - README as part
of release tarball, but it also gained new purpose - landing webpage for
developers who browse gitlab (that is why we have images in the .rst).
Therefore, what we should do is to have a section that covers "building
from git" and another one "building from a tarball". Note that we
already cover these in [1], so maybe after all drop all compile info in
favour of the link?
