The manual does not mention them. (Yes, there is something about having the available in AC_CONFIG_* macros, but that's not the case here.) These variables are available in the file _created_ by configure, specifically in the makefiles. So, formally speaking, the observed problem with backward compatibility of 2.61 is caused by relying on undocumented features in the autoconfigury of openccs. Let me outline the way to fix this. src/make.rules should use $(top_srcdir) and such like this: GLOB_INCLUDE = \ -I$(top_srcdir) \ -I$(top_srcdir)/include TOOLS_INCLUDE = \ -I$(top_srcdir)/shared/rte \ -I$(top_builddir)/shared/comm \ -I$(top_srcdir)/shared/comm \ -I$(top_srcdir)/shared/filterIdent \ -I$(top_srcdir)/shared/tools AM_CPPFLAGS = $(GLOB_DEFINES) $(GLOB_INCLUDE) $(TOOLS_INCLUDE) Note: - the two lines quoted in the top of this mail should go away from configure.in, GLOB_INCLUDE in defined directly in make.rules - likewise, TOOLS_INCLUDE shall not be AC_SUBSTed - some Makefile.am contain INCLUDE = @GLOB_INCLUDE@ and such; these are redundant and should go away - $(GLOB_DEFINES) works even though it is not spelled as @...@; thats because all AC_SUBSTed variables are inherited in makefiles Hope this explanation will drag you back to the sane world. ;-) Have a nice day, Stepan Kasal -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
