make fails

[JohnWeiner]

Trying to install harminv on macOS Sierra (10.12.6). Cloned harminv from GitHub.com...

git clone https://github.com/stevengj/harminv
cd ./harminv

sh autogens.sh runs to completion.
./configure runs to completion.
make stops with the following message,
make: *** No rule to make target copyright.h', needed by all'. Stop.

A few days ago I installed harminv on another iMac, running macOS Sierra, from the tarball without incident.

You need to run ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode to build from git. autogen.sh does this for you, so you didn't need to run configure manually.

OK…I just downloaded the tarball and did the usual sequence of configure, make, sudo make install; and it proceeded without incident. I wasn’t aware of the autogen feature…live and learn. John

I've updated the installation instructions to make this clearer.
