I tried to being more explicit about what the new users has to do. The first instruction that the text says is: "Normaly you can just do "make"". But the new user, cloning git won't have a configure file, so he can't just do "make". And then, the text says: "so you can write instead". This brings me to one alternative (not what I really should do), when in fact it should be (I guess) the first instructions that new users need to follow. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
