[Gambas-user] update of autotools base installer for gambas2

[José Luis Redrejo]

No, no, what I mean is using the autotools configure and Makefile to build
the package manager. I don't know how rpm or slackware works, but for
Debian, when building the package I have to options in the debian/rules
file:
- use it as a Makefile and write every action: gbc, gba, cp files, etc.
- use it to call the Makefile of the application

So, the deb would be built from the "autotoolized" project. I don't mean
avoid the package manager, but use autotools to build the package. Which, on
the other hand, is the usual way to do it. When I package gambas for Debian,
I use the configure & Makefiles you include in gambas source.

Hope, it's clearer now.

Regards.
