Okay, I want to switch the game I am writing over to the Gnu built
tools. Even after looking a documentation and tutorials I still have no
idea what I am doing, so I'm just going to throw myself at this like a
missile and hope I come out alive on the other end.

Okay, so I went into my package directory and ran "autoscan," which
created "configure.scan." I renamed that to configure.ac, then I ran
"autoconf", which produced a "configure" script.

I executed the configure script to see what would happen, but this is
all I got:

***** ./configure *****
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in "." "./.."
"./../.."
***********************

So, is install.sh just a script I create to install my stuff? Or is this
something I'm supposed to create with another program?
