[PD-dev] svn-repository general question

Hello & thank you for the answer.

i thought so.

ok.

so, since autogen.sh is also a script, it is not included in the svn-snapshot...?
can you please tell me what to do, if i want to compile the snapshot then?
- copy the scripts into?? or better copy the source out of the svn-maintained folder, and copying the scripts needed to create the configure script... etc...?

where do i get those scripts from...? copying them from a source-release?
copying the snapshot-sources into a source-release??

is there a step-by-step tutorial for compiling a svn-snapshot?

thanks.
