[vlc-devel] AW: Re: Difficulties with autconf/automake

[Andreas Korth]

Thanks Clément,

I also found a section in the HACKING file on this issue (after posting
my message) but it's not as informative as your description below. 

I would suggest to update HACKING to include your explanation. It would
also seem like a good idea to me to add it to the developer docs online.

Cheers,
Andreas
