[Libevent-users] Building from svn co: missing stuff?

[Bruce Walker]

Forgive me if this is a trivial blunder, but when I checkout a release 
or the trunk from svn, there's a whole whack of missing files and I 
can't build.  Files like configure, config.sub, config.guess, 
config.h.in, Makefile.in.  Then there's libtool ...

I've been copying in missing bits from the libevent-1.2a.tar.gz tarball 
and it almost builds.  I'm stuck at,

/usr/local/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. 
-I.  -Icompat     -O -pipe  -g -O2 -Wall -c -o event.lo `test -f 
'event.c' || echo './'`event.c
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
*** Error code 1

So can someone enlighten me?  Where's my files at? :-)

Thanks!
