Bug 26166

If you checkout from git, you need to run autogen.sh.

Hi, Behdad,

1.  I downloaded from cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig. Is this "checkout from git"?
2.  running autogen is not documented in either README or INSTALL.
3. I typed "source autogen.sh" and my terminal was killed with no Makefile generated.
    (fontconfig-2.8.0)

Yes.

Fixed.

You should run it, as in "./autogen.sh", not source it.

Hello,
  I got farther this time, but am still having problems.

  I am using "pacman" to install fontconfig and pacman is sensitive to warnings/errors.

  This is the message returned from either "make" or "make install":

Running autoheader
Running libtoolize --copy --force
Running automake -a
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
doc/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
doc/Makefile.am:199: `doc_DATA' is used but `docdir' is undefined

I think pacman is taking the last statement as an error and fails the
installation.

Is this a "make" fault?

I have no idea what pacman is or what the problem with your build is.
