[LLVMdev] creating a project from sample project

[Reid Spencer]

It's complaining about the LLVM autoconf/m4 directory which contains the
m4 macros that are used in your project's configure.ac. By convention,
your project should be in the llvm/projects directory so that you have:

1. llvm/autoconf
2. llvm/projects/yourProj/autoconf

The AutoRegen.sh in #2 is looking for #1. By convention that should be
located at ../../../autoconf/m4.  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR has nothing to do
with it, as that comes into play only when autoconf is run, not when
AutoRegen.sh is running. 

Probably the only thing you're doing "wrong" is not placing your project
in the llvm/projects directory.  If you need to have your project
elsewhere, then what you did (change llvm_m4) is correct.  But, please
be aware, the directory you want is *not* your project's autoconf
directory, but LLVM's autoconf directory.

Reid.
