building hexchat


Hello guys, I am trying to install hexchat but I have run into some problem. I am following this guide https://gist.github.com/gandaro/3194136 and run this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install automake1.10 libtool libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev
The output seems reasonable:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libgtk2.0-dev is already the newest version.
libglib2.0-dev is already the newest version.
libglib2.0-dev set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  gir1.2-ubuntuoneui-3.0 libubuntuoneui-3.0-1 thunderbird-globalmenu
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  autoconf autotools-dev libltdl-dev m4
Suggested packages:
  autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool-doc gfortran fortran95-compiler gcj
Recommended packages:
  automake automaken
The following NEW packages will be installed
  autoconf automake1.10 autotools-dev libltdl-dev libtool libxml2-dev m4

bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory
I tried to figure it out myself, but I didn't get anywhere. ANy idea?

As you haven't told us what you've tried while attempting to figure it out, here's my top two tips:
  • You're in the wrong folder, one that doesn't containg the autogen.sh script.
  • You didn't download / unpack the source code you're trying to configure / compile.

Hi, well I was trying to install hexchat, unsuccessfully apparently. Nevermind, I have installed instead xchat, which is pretty much the same :-)

you were NOT in the source folder
BUT
instead in your "HOME" folder

you must be in the folder THAT has that script
as in
The source folder you are trying to build !
