Hello, I encountered a strange scenario on Cygwin recently. I was trying to build Subversion from sources. Their build tools smoke test for Autoheader was failing because "autoheader --version" didn't work. The root cause was that my TMPDIR was insane and did not exist. I fully admit this was my problem, but I want to make it less painful for others in the future. This took me a while to figure out and was not obvious from the autoheader error message. <code> ## -------------- ## ## Main program. ## ## -------------- ## mktmpdir ('ah'); switch_warning 'obsolete'; parse_args; </code> Is there a reason to call mktmpdir ('ah') before switch_warning and parse_args? Thanks, Kevin Connor ARPE Hongkong _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
