It depends on how you call configure: `../../src/configure' will define $(srcdir) as `../../src', `/home/me/src/configure' will define $(srcdir) as `/home/me/src'. $(srcdir) is then used in many places during the build to locate your sources. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
