I am getting this: sh config.status --recheck ... configure: loading cache ../config.cache configure: error: `CFLAGS' was not set in the previous run configure: error: `CPPFLAGS' was not set in the previous run configure: error: changes in the environment can compromise the build configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm ../config.cache' and start over make[1]: *** [config.status] Error 1 I did not set any variables, not by hand. how do I avoid this error? here is my infrastructure: I am in the mail product build directory (.) it has several "module" subdirectories, each with its own configure (and configure.in, config.h.in, Makefile.in &c). they are built like this: --- ./Makefile --- module-dir: cd module-dir; ./configure --cache-file=../config.cache CC=$(CC) .... cd module-dir; make CC=$(CC) CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) .... --- ./Makefile --- I thought that by adding --- module-dir/Makefile --- config.status : configure sh config.status --recheck config.h : config.status config.h.in sh config.status --header=config.h --- module-dir/Makefile --- I will ensure that when module-dir/configure changes, module-dir will be automatically reconfigured. Unfortunately I am getting the above errors (`CFLAGS' was not set in the previous run &c). I understand why I am getting them, but I see no way to avoid them: if I configure module-dir1 before module-dir2, and module-dir2/configure changes CFLAGS, then module-dir1/configure will complain when I try to re-run it. So, how do you handle this issue? the only thing I could come up with so far is quite ugly: --- module-dir/Makefile --- config.status : configure sh config.status --recheck || (cd ..; rm -fv module-dir; make module-dir) --- module-dir/Makefile --- any other suggestions? -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.palestinefacts.org/> <http://ffii.org/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> <http://www.openvotingconsortium.org/> Experience comes with debts. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
