I am hoping I can do some builds with a read-only source tree. I am running my autoreconf from the source directory and running "make" in my work directory. My Makefile, config.log, config.status, configure.lineno, and object files are in my work directory, like I expect. But the autom4te.cache is created in my source directory. If my source directory is read-only I receive: cannot create autom4te.cache/output.0t: permission denied How can I tell autom4te or autoreconf or whatever to never write to my source directory? I tried using --cache-file=~/cache but I am unclear on what that is for (and it didn't help). I tried quickly looking at some of the autom4te script and modules, but didn't see where the filename is defined. I also have files generated like: aclocal.m4 configure config.h.in Makefile.in Any suggestions on how I can have these also generated into my work directory (and not my source directory)? For now, I just generate them in my source directory. And then run the ./configure while in my work directory. Jeremy C. Reed p.s. Please carbon copy me on replies. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
