can not install nhc-1.4.2

I downloaded nhc-1.4.2, unzipped it, and executed the installation operation according to the instructions of readme,. / configure, but I was prompted that there was no such script

Try using ./autogen.sh instead.

If you download the actual tarball for NHC (from the Release page here), there will be a configure script. Unfortunately, if you download the link that says "Source code," what you get is an auto-generated archive that is created by Github, not by me, and I have no control over what it contains.

NHC, like much of the Linux and GNU software out there, uses the GNU Autotools (i.e., autoconf, automake, et al.) system for build portability and UX consistency. When those tools are used, the direct contents of the repository are meant for developers only, not end users, and the release ("distribution") tarballs are generated by the development team. Github.com breaks this model by offering up the not-ready-for-release software as "Source code."

If anyone knows a way around this, I'd be much obliged! :grin:
