Hi, my project includes a shell script where I need to portably create a new directory. I added MKDIR_P="@MKDIR_P@" and I get config.status to do the substitution by listing that script in my AC_CONFIG_FILES. What I didn't expect is that sometimes the value looks like this: (from config.log) mkdir_p='$(top_builddir)/../build-aux/install-sh -c -d' The issue is that my script is in the build-aux directory itself, so the relative path is incorrect for that script. It's kinda curious that it uses a relative path when: install_sh='$(SHELL) /absolute/path/to/build-aux/install-sh' It also means I can't install that script during make install, because it will reference the install-sh from the source tree.
So I was just curious as to why mkdir_p was made to use a relative path to install-sh. -- Benoit "tsuna" Sigoure Software Engineer @ www.StumbleUpon.com _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
