pkgconfig build woes

[<skip pobox com>]

I just grabbed a fresh version of pkgconfig from CVS and am having trouble
building it.  Autogen.sh reports:

    Makefile.am:11: BUILT_SOURCES multiply defined in condition TRUE

      BUILT_SOURCES (User, where = 11) =
      {
	TRUE => glib-config
      }
    Makefile.am:64: noinst_DATA multiply defined in condition TRUE

      noinst_DATA (User, where = 64) =
      {
	TRUE => \
	    glibconfig.h

      }
    automake: configure.in: required file `./depcomp' not found

This was after updating autoconf and automake from CVS and installing them.

Forging ahead and running make yields:

    cd . && /bin/sh /home/skip/src/gtk/pkgconfig/missing --run autoheader
    autoheader: config.h.in is unchanged
    make  all-recursive
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/skip/src/gtk/pkgconfig'
    Making all in glib-1.2.8
    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/skip/src/gtk/pkgconfig/glib-1.2.8'
    Makefile:335: *** missing separator.  Stop.
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/skip/src/gtk/pkgconfig/glib-1.2.8'
    make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/skip/src/gtk/pkgconfig'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestions?

Rick Campbell asked about GTK dependencies.  I'd appreciate a pointer to
tutorials on all the various build-related tools (autoconf, automake,
pkgconfig, libtool, etc), particularly focusing on what their
interdependencies are and what order they should be built in.

Thx,
