The present Autoconf documentation reads | Limitations of Make | =================== | [...] | `VPATH' | Don't use it! For instance any assignment to `VPATH' causes Sun | `make' to only execute the first set of double-colon rules.
Akim pasted this comment here from acgeneral.m4 where it was added six years ago: | Fri Mar 18 00:43:21 1994 David J. MacKenzie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | | * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Remove VPATH lines if srcdir=., to | work around Sun make bug. From Karl Berry. Does it still applies ? How can I reproduce this ? I'd like to upgrade this section with other VPATH limitations but I do not understand this one. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
