The generated build system (configure, every Makefile.in, config.h.in, ltmain.sh, config.guess/sub, the aux scripts) was committed so a bare git clone could build without autotools. Nothing downstream relied on the committed copies: CI runs autoreconf -fi, Debian regenerates via dh_autoreconf, and the release tarball is built by make dist, which regenerates them regardless. The only cost was a recurring footgun: a stale Makefile.in after a *_SOURCES edit silently broke the plain build (undefined reference to cache_selftests), and CI could not catch it. Treat them as build products. They are now .gitignored and regenerated from configure.ac/Makefile.am by the new ./bootstrap (autoreconf -fi), and shipped only inside make dist tarballs so tarball users still need no autotools. build.sh is a one-shot wrapper (bootstrap + configure + make) that runs configure via /bin/sh, so it survives a noexec source tree. Both scripts join EXTRA_DIST. INSTALL.Linux, README.md and AGENTS.md document the git flow: ./bootstrap before ./configure, autotools required for a git build.

About
Copy websites to your computer (Offline browser)
HTTrack is an offline browser utility, allowing you to download a World Wide website from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting html, images, and other files from the server to your computer.
HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online.
HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.
WinHTTrack is the Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.

Compile trunk release
A git checkout ships only the autotools sources, so ./bootstrap (which runs
autoreconf) regenerates configure first; this needs autoconf, automake and
libtool. Released tarballs already include configure, so building from a
tarball skips ./bootstrap.
git clone https://github.com/xroche/httrack.git --recurse-submodules
cd httrack
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr && make -j8 && make install
Or use the one-shot wrapper (bootstrap + configure + make), which forwards its
arguments to configure:
./build.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
