No, but for a long time, xchat has always run aclocal, autoconf and
automake when i run make.  also, it re-runs configure... i was going to
ask why this is necessary :)

[root@lapsis x]# tar zxf xchat-1.7.6.tar.gz
[root@lapsis x]# cd xchat-1.7.6
[root@lapsis xchat-1.7.6]# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c

configure complete, now type 'make' and pray.

[root@lapsis xchat-1.7.6]# make
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --foreign --include-deps Makefile
cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
running /bin/sh ./configure  --no-create --no-recursion
checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c
----

etc etc

so, any ideas why this is necessary ?

thanks,
