In AutoTools it is usually advisable to perform parallel builds. This means you
95

build somewhere other than the project root. This is because building creates

The last '..' points the way to project root.

The full list of arguments to bootstrap.sh are:-
110
during testing and for an AutoTools-only install, some build
111
changes are required. e.g. You may reference an external Java
112
jar in datadir but in AT builds and installations this may
113
expand to /usr/local/share... So a substitution is required for

configure the project.
123
perform a normal make distcheck.
126
build with appropriate debug flags.
132
run a make distcheck using a fake AT standard directory as a
133
substitute for an absolute path which distcheck does not
137
run gnulib-tool --update. Checks for the existence of the cache
138
file proj-root/m4/gnulib-cache.m4. If it does not exist the

show include stack depth
148
pass --enable-sparse=yes to configure.
151
some build changes may be required for testing purposes. e.g. A
152
script may invoke a project jar file which when installed will
153
be somewhere under datadir, but during testing it is in the
