+
+This file contains information that supplements the generic
+installation instructions in file `INSTALL.autotools'.  It is meant
+for people building directly from the development repository, rather than
+a release or snapshot tarball .
+
+
+If you want to start compiling the `groff' system with an existing
+script `configure' you won't need the information ion this file.
+
+
+But if you want to use the `GNU autotools' (`aclocal', `autoreconf')
+for creating the following and some more files:
+
+    aclocal.m4
+    configure
+    Makefile
+
+
+To change the file `aclocal.m4', run the shell command
+
+    $ aclocal -I m4
+
+
+To recreate the files `configure' and `Makefile', use the shell command
+
+    $ autoreconf -I m4
+
+
+The option `-I m4' is necessary.  It refers to the subdirectory `m4'
+that has files with m4 macro definitions that are needed by the
+`autotools'.
+
+
+If you use an old `autoreconf' version < 2.69, there might be an
+error warning like:
+
+    /usr/share/aclocal/gtkglextmm-1.2.m4:225: warning: underquoted \
+definition of AC_GTKGLEXTMM_SUPPORTS_MULTIHEAD
+    /usr/share/aclocal/gtkglextmm-1.2.m4:225:   run info \
+'(automake)Extending aclocal'
+    /usr/share/aclocal/gtkglextmm-1.2.m4:225:   or see \
+http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
+
+Just ignore this.  It doesn't occur in the actual versions of `autoreconf'.
+
+
+You may even use the shell command
+
+    $ autoconf
+
+instead of `autoreconf', but that will ignore some features.  So
+`autoreconf' is better.
+
+
+`automake' is not used.  `autoreconf' does part of this.  If you know
+about creating `Makefile.am' files we are glad to have you for the
+inclusion of `automake'.  Take contact with the `groff Mailinglist'.
+
+
+After the use of the `GNU autotools', the usual compilation should
+work.  If the run of `configure' produces error reports you have
+produced errors in the `autotools' modification.
