Hi Florian,
Florian Dold <florian.dold@gmail.com> skribis:

Good catch, applied!

FWIW I prefer to just run “autoreconf -vfi”, which is what ‘./bootstrap’
does in Guix. ‘./bootstrap’ scripts tend to have different semantics
between projects (some run ‘./configure’, some don’t, etc.) so I like to
keep it simple.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
