Hello all, As I run `autoreconf --install` to create the needed scripts and Makefile.*'s, i realize that autools put those needed to the dir where i have the configure.ac and Makefile.am which is root dir for the software. The dir structure looks then, as follows: aclocal.m4 /* how to move to dir "./build" */ autom4te.cache /* how to move to dir "./build" */ build configure configure.ac include Makefile.am Makefile.in /* howto move to dir "./build" */ src I have found out on gnu.org that one can customize caching and its stored dir through .autom4te.cfg http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_node/autoconf_99.html#SEC99 But even if i wrote a .autom4te.cfg with given lexical rules, it doesn't seem to work, if i clean every previously produced files and re-run autoreconf --install.... [start .autom4te.cfg] begin-language: "Autoconf" args: --cache=./build/ end-language:"Autoconf" [end .autom4te.cfg] Another thing that i wonder, how i can force autotools to generate the other files like aclocal.m4, config.status, config.log in a dir that i specify (like build)?. Is there a command for those like it is for auxiallary scripts, AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR? And besides which of the files that i mentioned here can be removed safely through make clean? And can be reproduced using ./configure?
