Is this a known bug?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

You need to use autoreconf, not autoconf.

I thought we'd added that to the building guide some time ago, sorry

| Ok, trying to build from cvs...
| 
| I (think I've) followed the instuctions at

http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-cvs.html#CVS-FIRST
| 
| configure.ac references mk/config.h(.in) which doesn't seem to be in

| 
| It seems it was removed
| http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/mk/Attic/config.h.in
| 
| So ./configure reports an error:
| config.status: error: cannot find input file: mk/config.h.in
| 
| If I comment out that bit from configure.ac, then ./configure
completes

| 
| either way, make then fails:
| make: *** No rule to make target 'mk/config.h.in', needed by
| 'mk/config.mk'. Stop.
