2 it off the Git repository.
8 You will need reasonably recent versions of the build tools:

46 ===============================
48 Access to the Git repository is described at
49 https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=libiconv .
51 After fetching the sources from the Git repository, peek at the comments in
52 autogen.sh, then run "./autogen.sh"; then you can proceed with "./configure"
