[Easytag-mailing] Compiling form git

[Gaute Amundsen <taggant div org>]

I feel a bit dumb for asking this, but I could use some help compiling 
form git. My progress so far in short form:

On a fairly fresh ubuntu 11.10 install:
git clone git://easytag.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/easytag/easytag
cd easytag
./autogen.sh

Here I kept getting errors, while I installed autotools etc. and had to 
leave it. Today autogen suddenly works. Ending like this:

../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2607: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from...
configure.in:361: the top level

But now configure fails..

./configure
<snip>
 checking for library containing strerror... none required
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
./configure: line 15378: syntax error near unexpected token `2.8.0,,'
./configure: line 15378: `AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0(2.8.0,, as_fn_error $? "*** 
GLIB >= 2.8.0 not installed! ***" "$LINENO" 5)'

Diving into the configure script seems too simple :-)

I don’t think the instructions in HACKING are quite relevant.
Seems to me that most of the prerequisites have already been pulled inn 
by apt-get when I installed easytag from the repo...

What to do?
