./configure ?  [Solved]

Downloaded a modified version of Minidlna (allowing up to 600 x 600 cover art; https://github.com/janforman/minidlna?t ... ile#readme), and intended to install using the ./config and so on.

But the response from MX was "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"

That required a visit to MX Wiki on compilation, https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/compiling-software/. Yep, a description from 2015 state to use ./configure, although Stevo the same year suggests another scheme (cmake aso).

On internet there is nothing stating ./configure has been retired, so I have to conclude I am missing something. What?

OK, QSI as always

There are many ways to construct and compile a program, and this one is just slightly different. Read the required dependencies and installed the -dev packages of all of them.
Then run ./autogen.sh
That will create the proper configure file so you can run ./configure

Thanks!

Succeeded at last, following your hits. A lot to learn!
