That would slow down 'configure' everywhere. It might make sense to have an Autoconf option that would add that behavior as an option, for people who want to have directories named 'core', and who don't mind the slowdown. > ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean: > ./confdefs.h I don't see how this is related to the problem with 'core'. It appears to be a separate bug. For your immediate problem, the simplest thing might be for you to rename the directory 'core', to 'Core', say. If that's not possible, you could run 'configure' in a subdirectory perhaps. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
