Re: Automake?

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

This looks very good, but, um, to build a new package do we have to
run autoconf and then autogen.sh?

What happened to PIDDIR in monitor.h ? This variable should be
substituted from configure with either with /etc or /var/run. You
still need to use AC_SUBST(PID_DIR) don't you?  This variable is used
in file.c:init_files as MYPIDDIR.
