You seem to keep generated files like "Makefile" and "configure" in the
repository. We follow a different approach; no generated files are
versioned, not even auxiliary scripts. A developer who wants to compile
from repository should have the correct autotoolset version and run
"autoreconf -ifs" and "configure" first.
This is what a svn:ignore looks like for a typical top_srcdir:
autom4te.cache
build
Makefile.in
configure
aclocal.m4
config.h.in
aux
Note that we usually build from the "build" subdirectory, not directly
from top_srcdir, and that auxiliary files like "config.guess" are kept
in "aux".
If a developer wants to compile without using autotools, he should use a
distribution tarball (generated by "make dist"), not the subversion sources.
It works :)
