Greetings, autoconf manual states in 15.1 that >> `config.status' now supports arguments to specify the files to >> instantiate [..] Before, environment variables had to be used. Perhaps a known problem but the new approach is not identical to the old one. This works well: $ CONFIG_FILES=./Makefile config.status config.status: creating ./Makefile But this fails: $ ./config.status ./Makefile config.status: error: invalid argument: ./Makefile I'm using GNU autoconf 2.59.
