Building from tarball release:
-----------------------------
-(See "Building from arch source" below if you got SXEmacs that way)
+(See "Building from git source" below if you got SXEmacs that way)
In a nutshell:

The configure option to control ENT libraries is --with-ent. It
defaults to `all'.
- your OS and machine architecture
- the steps you have done
+There is a script under contrib called tar-build-failure.sh that

Before submitting a report at http://issues.sxemacs.org/, please show
up either on the mailing list or the IRC channel. The developers can
tell you in much greater detail what they need and how you can get the
files and information you need.
-Building from arch source:
--------------------------
+Building from git source:
+------------------------
This is identical to building from the tarball sources, with the
addition of an extra step, and some extra requirements (that are most
likely already on your system).
Extra requirements:
------------------
-The SXEmacs sources in the arch repo do not contain _any_ generated
+The SXEmacs sources in the git repo do not contain _any_ generated
files. You will need recent versions of the GNU autotools (automake,
autoconf).
automake 1.9.4
autoconf 2.60
+ texinfo 4.8
Warnings from autogen.sh:
------------------------
about quoting and you have some older style macros defined like:
AC_DEFUN(NAME, ...) instead of AC_DEFUN([NAME], ...).
- Warnings about ETAGS variable being redifined
+ Warnings about ETAGS variable being redefined
These are because automake has a pre-defined ETAGS target that
projects can use, unfortunately it doesn't fit in with our needs,
