I wanted to compile loolwsd/wsd as described in the README: https://github.com/LibreOffice/online/blob/master/wsd/README aclocal failed with the following error message: aclocal: error: 'configure.ac' is required As described in the error message there is no configure.ac in the wsd folder. What can I do to properly build wsd/loolwsd?
It has to be run from the root of the repository, note that there's a configure.ac there.
Isn't at least the linked readme false?

As Aron mentioned, ./configure and make must be executed in the root directory. There is no wsd/loolwsd or loolwsd/wsd. The README is referring to 'loolwsd' where it might be better to say Online. Otherwise, the instructions are correct. I did verify on a newly cloned copy. The only wrinkle is that automake gives an error, but that is normal since the file it is looking for is generated in the next step by autoreconf. After running the commands in the README, you need to run ./configure with the required arguments correctly set, once that succeeds, just run `make` in the same directly. Happy hacking.
