Bug Description

Trying to figure out how to build lp:nux, the only instructions I can find are in the INSTALL file. However those are generic autoconf instructions that don't actually work for the nux source.

Now I've been told I should be using autogen.sh, but that was by word of mouth and it has no comments or docs confirming that's how you should build Nux.

I know how to build Nux.

However the instructions in the source tree are wrong. And if any file (including docs) in lp:nux needs fixing, it needs a bug associated with it.
