Nah - doesn't work. Apparently requires some other utilities which it can't
find (see below).
Instead, I have found all I need to do is retain the original dates (as in
the tarball) on the 4 files:
"Jul 01 19:06 acinclude.m4",
"Mar 28 10:37 ./wiretap/acinclude.m4",
"Jul 07 17:15 configure.in",
"Jun 02 21:36 ./wiretap/configure.in"
Thanks, Bob.

Checking for python.
You must have autoconf 2.52 or later installed to compile Ethereal.
Download the appropriate package for your distribution/OS,
or get the source tarball at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/
You must have automake 1.6 or later installed to compile Ethereal.

You must have libtool 1.4 or later installed to compile Ethereal.

Correct. The configure script, and Makefile.in files, were *NOT* checked
into CVS and are *NOT* checked into Subversion; only the files to generate
them are, and you have to run autogen.sh to generate them.
This isn't neccessary when compiling an "official" build.
Correct. The process of generating the source tarballs generates those
files and puts them into the tarball.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] 10.5 build problem on linux
I have no problem with ./configure, make, make install on a downloaded,
untarred 10.5.
But when I place the code under CVS and try to build within my cvs
working directory, I get the errors below.
...if by "place the code under CVS" he meant that he'd checked out the
anonymous CVS source tree and built from that, then not only does he need
to run autogen.sh first...
...he probably also wants to switch to Subversion, because 0.10.5 was the
last release that came from CVS. 0.10.6 came from Subversion, so
development with current Ethereal has to be done from a Subversion tree
rather than a CVS tree.
