Hi,

I am a little new to compiling source codes. 
I know of the ./configure, "make" and "make install" method and also of the default make file method.

I was trying to compile the opensaml2.0
 source code. I looked in the doc folder for instructions but could not find any. So, I tried the following commands:
tried running configure.ac, checkinstall, ltmain.sh and 
Makefile.am and I am giving the output below.

[root@localhost trunk]# 
[root@localhost trunk]# ./configure.ac 
./configure.ac: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `[2.50]'
./configure.ac: line 1: `AC_PREREQ([
2.50])'
[root@localhost trunk]# 
[root@localhost trunk]# ./checkinstall 
bash: ./checkinstall: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@localhost trunk]# ./ltmain.sh 
./ltmain.sh: line 117: 
ltmain.sh: not configured to build any kind of library: command not found
./ltmain.sh: line 118: Fatal configuration error.  See the libtool docs for more information.: command not found
[root@localhost trunk]# make -f 
Makefile.am 
doxygen.am:35: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[root@localhost trunk]# 

As you can see I was not very successful with this :) ... can anybody please guide me about how to compile/install the source code to make a library?

Thanks and regards,
Sanchit
