            |  | 50 | Having checked out {{{ropp_src}}} (trunk, tag or branch) some commands need to be run to locally create intermediate configuration and make files not in the repository, before the {{{configure / make / make install}}} sequence can begin: | 
          
            |  | 51 | {{{ | 
          
            |  | 52 | aclocal -m4 --force | 
          
            |  | 53 | automake -a -c | 
          
            |  | 54 | autoconf | 
          
            |  | 55 | }}} | 
          
            |  | 56 | These commands need to be repeated in each of the {{{ropp_tools}}}, {{{ropp_io}}} etc modules. Thereafter, if any changes are made to the low-level configure.ac or Makefile.am template files, an {{{autoreconf}}} should be sufficient. The whole sequence needs to be re-run if any .m4 (macro) file is changed. |
