No configure file in git cloned guile despite what README says |

Dear Guile Maintainers:
I used the git command
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile.git
from the guile webpage
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/download.html
and got a nice directory with a README file which
tells me to run ./configure which does not exist.
I tried to create one with autoconf but it gave lots
of error messages.
Please revise the README file (or provide a traditional
INSTALL file) with correct installation information.
Thanks,
_Greg

I have tried with git libgc, and cannot reproduce this issue. I think
it must be that you ran configure with an old libgc, then updated, then
tried to build again without reconfiguring. Assuming this is the case,
I'm closing this bug.
Regards,
Andy
