[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttv] Add build instructions for git tree pulls and use more standard formatting

[Amit Margalit]

I thouhght that's what the 'bootstrap' script is for. I mean - it includes 
autoreconf -i plus creation of config directory... So maybe the doc should 
say "use the bootstrap script" instead of calling users to run autoreconf 
-i ...

You should be able to use "autoreconf -i" instead of those two commands.
It avoids the need to run autoconf, automake etc. manually.

As was mentioned in the other thread, this should be "# make install",
since with the default configure options, it will install in /usr/local,
and only root can write there.
