Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately, you'll need to use CVS. I don't think the changes to
LLVM's autoconf/m4 directory made it into release 1.7. The changes in
AutoRegen.sh and configure.ac for the sample project are dependent on a
minor change in llvm/autoconf/m4/config_project.m4. If you need to use
1.6 or 1.7, just get that file from CVS and replace it in your 1.6 or
1.7 release sources. That should allow the AutoRegen.sh for your project
to find what it needs and work correctly.
Reid.
