BIRD 3.0alpha2

[Nico Schottelius]

Hey Maria,

I am currently trying to give it a shot of creating a Dockerfile, but
building bird from git using

         autoconf && ./configure

fails with

checking for rl_ding in -lreadline... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `sysdep/autoconf.h.in'

I have that error both on master and v3.0-alpha2, my build environment
is Alpine Linux.

If you can hint me on how to fix this, I might be able to provide a
Dockerfile for provding docker images for bird.

Best regards,

Nico
