openssh unix dev - Aug 2002 - tru64 patch: openssh-SNAP-20020826.tar.gz does not contain 'configure', so how to build?

Hi-

Since the tru64 patch was designed for -current, I thought I would try
to build it with a recent snapshot before backporting to 3.4p1.

So I downloaded openssh-SNAP-20020826.tar.gz frpm the portable snapshots, but it
does not contain the 'configure' script.  I tried copying the
'configure' from
3.4p1, but that does not create a Makefile from the Makefile.in.

Where are the directions for building a snapshot?  The INSTALL file
says to use the non-existant 'configure'.

Thanks,
Toni

make -f Makefile.in distprep

Requires autoconf (and probably gnu m4).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Run 'autoconf' to generate configure. I think you'll need 2.52+. You
might also need to run 'autoheader' to generate config.h.in.

The tru64 privsep patch works with openssh-SNAP-20020826.tar.gz!
