Once you have a git clone or recursive archive, building is the Once you have a git clone or recursive archive, the next step is to
same as almost every autotools project: install the build dependencies. At the moment, rpm-ostree has a hard
requirement on a bleeding edge version of
[libhif](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libhif/). It also
requires a few other libraries like
[librepo](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/librepo).
Once you have the dependencies, building is the same as every
autotools project:
``` ```
env NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh env NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=... ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc
