Hi Joel, I take it you have changed sim/erc32/configure.ac (or another file that goes in making sim/erc32/configure) and you want to re-generate sim/erc32/configure? In that case, you just need to go in the sim/erc32 and run "autoconf" ("autoconf -f" may sometimes be useful if autoconf doesn't realize some things have changed). You should use the same version of autoconf as the version that generated the current configure. As you can see in the header, this is autoconf 2.69: # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Some Linux distributions have local patches to autoconf, which results in spurious diffs when re-generating configure. If that happens, try to build and use autoconf from upstream. Thanks, Simon
