Building up Makefile... /bin/sed: can't read Makefile.in: No such file or directory done I habitually use a build dir distinct from the source dir to avoid polluting the source tree with .o files; handy when disk-space is low, when preparing patches for people, when using git, when copying files around, and other reasons too. And disk space is always low ... so I was slightly disappointed when configure broke by not finding Makefile.in Another minor remark: If/when I have to hack on a tool, such as crosstool_ng, I use quilt, with automaticallly uses a directory called "patches". So it was a surprise to see that such a directory already exists in crosstool_ng. Hmmm. --linas -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
