Sure, but the build documentation still says that it should work. Given that srcdir == objdir is the standard usage pattern for configure scripts, I don't think anyone will be surprised that people will try it. This turns out not to have been the OP's problem anyway, but given the wiki page you pointed them at does state clearly that srcdir == objdir isn't supported, as does the FAQ entry, it would be nice if the actual build documentation said it too... -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "...thus there might be a great reduction in useless expenditure on │ Nuclear rockets, reducing inflation and stabilising the price of cat │ foods." --- UK pat.
