Can not compile it via autogen.sh

[rubyFeedback]

Running this command after downloading the latest release of libshout 2.4.3:

"sh autogen.sh"

Without the quotes, leads to:

Hmm. Perhaps we could use meson or cmake as build system? Other autoconf based projects work fine on my linux system here but libshout fails tragically.

A "configure" file is created but running this then leads to:

checking for gettimeofday... yes checking for ftime... yes checking for strcasestr... yes checking for library containing nanosleep... none required ./configure: line 12944: XIPH_NET: command not found ./configure: line 12956: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./configure: line 12956: ACX_PTHREAD('

No idea why that fails but it may be best to abandon the shell macro hell that autoconf imposes onto mankind.

Clone the repository with the --recurse-submodules argument, so git clone https://github.com/xiph/Icecast-libshout.git --recurse-submodules
