This is a short guide on building the latest development version of Upstart:
1. Get the code. Libnih is a utility library used by Upstart.
$ bzr branch lp:libnih $ bzr branch lp:upstart
2. Configure libnih
$ cd libnih/ $ autoreconf -i $ ./configure
3. Configure and build Upstart
$ cd ../upstart $ ../libnih/nihify $ autoreconf -i $ ./configure $ make
Make sure to read upstart/HACKING to satisfy build dependencies.
