 # Procedures to build gforth from the CVS sources

-# To build gforth from scratch you need autoconf and automake.
-# This file can be used as shell script. If you make the environment
-# variable OLDGFORTH point to an existing gforth installation, this
-# script takes over kernel and primitve files.
+#use this with parameters and env variables like "configure"
 
-# makes a aclocal.m4 which includes the automake macros for autconf
