You should investigate by > looking into config.mak.autogen after running configure. This gave me the tip I needed. I was doing this in my Makefile: make -C git-1.6.0.4 install Instead of this: cd git-1.6.0.4 && make install Since the include was prefixed with "-", I didn't get any warnings or errors about not being able to find config.mak.autogen, and it fell back to the default. I'm not sure using the -C option to make is "something wrong", but then again I am apparently the first person to run into this problem, so it's probably not a big deal. Thanks for your help :) Neale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
