Hello & thank you for the answer.
b) meant for the source release(!) rather than an SVN-snapshot
the latter means: it is considered bad style to put anything "generated" (mostly binaries, but also scripts, like "configure") into VCS. hence configure (which is generated from configure.ac) is missing in the SVN.
so, since autogen.sh is also a script, it is not included in the svn-snapshot...?
ah no, you got me wrong. scripts can are often included in the VCS, but only if they are "original code", and are _not_ generated automatically. "configure" is such a generated script (it is generated from configure.ac and some additional m4-macros using "autoconf")
autogen.sh, otoh, is an "original" script (not-generated), hence it is included in the svn.
where do i get those scripts from...? copying them from a source-release? copying the snapshot-sources into a source-release??
no. the idea is that the VCS includes all the "source" code, and you can generate everything with the right tools (gcc, autoconf,...)
