Can not build in Debian Stretch about libconfini

[madmurphy]

Hi LLE8! I think you may have forgotten the configure command. Can you try using the following commands in the same order?

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr CFLAGS='-pedantic -std=c99 -g -O3'
make
make check
make install

[LLE8]

May be i was confused because last line of autogen.sh output was "Now type `make' to compile".
But configure is not helpful

What's wrong? Is it possible that some dev packages are missing in my system?
But debian packages from debian repo builds successfully.

[madmurphy]

It seems to me that everything went well. If you want to install it you have just to type

make install

If instead you are just looking for the compiled binaries, you should find a confini.o file under src.
