Newbie question...
I downloaded the alsa-utils source and it says to run ./configure. But no
such file exists. And if I go to aplay and type “make aplay” it can’t find
a file called “aconfig.h”, which is presumably written by
./configure. What am I missing?

Hi David,
use the gitcompile script. Otherwise read the INSTALL file for manual
instructions.
Thanks,
Geraldo Nascimento

I think that you need to run autoconf on the configure.ac file which
you should have: it is there in the git directory.
Perhaps read
man autoconf ?
The INSTALL file does indeed say run ./configure without explaining that
you need autoconf if ./configure is not present.

Projects making use of the autotools often provide a script named `autogen.sh`
to do the job concerning to autoconf. Try with this:
$ autoreconf -f -i -s
This will generate the configure script.
On the other hand, as suggested by ael, the manpages will give you the meaning
of the arguments passed to the command:
$ man autoreconf
Hope this helps,
Aitor.
