freebsd install from git source

Hello All,

I grabbed tmux git repo, cd to its dir, sh autogen.sh and now error:

Do you have libtool installed? If so then your autoconf is probably either too old or too new.

Hi Nicholas,

Do you have libtool installed? If so then your autoconf is probably either
too old or too new.

Yes, just installed libtool 2.4.6. Where's that fall on the cut off?

[J Raynor]

I think I've seen the error with AC_SEARCH_LIBS and m4_pattern_allow
before. Try installing pkgconf if you don't already have it
installed, and then rerun autogen.sh.

Good job and thanks for the help!

% tmux -V
tmux 2.0

I recommend the readme be amended to point this out.
