[LLVMdev] Trouble with sample project template (Autoconf problem?)

[Trevor Harmon]

I'm just getting started with an LLVM-based project, using the Sample  
template as a guide:

   http://llvm.org/docs/Projects.html#create

But I can't even get the Sample project itself to build without  
errors. It works fine if I do "configure" and then "make", but if I  
run "AutoRegen.sh" first, then do "configure", I get:

   configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in ../../../ 
autoconf "."/../../../autoconf

I noticed that this newly generated configure is substantially  
different from the pre-generated one provided with LLVM. The former is  
based on Autoconf 2.63, while the latter is based on Autoconf 2.59 (a  
somewhat old release from 2003).

Also, if I export the sample directory to someplace outside the LLVM  
source tree, I can get AutoRegen.sh to work, but then "make" fails:

   $ svn export . ~/sample
   $ cd ~/sample/autoconf
   $ ./AutoRegen.sh
   LLVM source root not found.

I'm stuck and would appreciate any help. Thanks,

P.S. This is on Mac OS X with the current LLVM trunk.
