Hi All,
Just subscribed :).
Here is my 1st question.
I just git cloned the elfutils.git
How to I build it, to my surprise there is no configure script
(assuming the clone is not damaged)
My secondary question is assuming I can build what is the process to
run the test suite?
I run on ubuntu
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
Thanx in advance
Cheers,
Phi

Hi All
Sorry about that, I figured that using the tarball do provide the
configure script, I'll start from there.
Cheers

To my own surprise this isn't documented at all.
I added the attached to the README.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
