i tried the folly-2017.07.31.00 version on centos6.5, "autoreconf -ivf" executed failed as following errors:
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required
thanks!

@Candy710 - My first guess is that you are missing a required package? Check the readme / sample build scripts for the list of all required packages on your platform.

@set-daemon - autoreconf -ivf and all other build commands are expected to be run from within the folly subdirectory, not from the root of the repo, as described in the readme / sample build scripts.

thanks @yfeldblum, my problem has been solved by running from withing the folly subdirectory.

autoreconf: configure.ac' or configure.in' is required thanks

@yidazhi The autotools based build system has been removed from Folly in favor of CMake, so you'll need to build Folly with CMake rather than autotools.
