FYI seems I'm not the only one to have a noticed a change in relation to
symlinks in the past 6-8 weeks.
I also tried the JIB reset (thanks Naoto) but that made no difference.
Cheers,

We have not changed autoconf/configure for JDK 10 as we have been a

I thought we cured symlink versus real path problems with:
JDK-8003317
build-infra: Configure fails when current dir is part of a symlink
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8003317
But maybe not.
Well I've been using symlinked directories for my repos since day one,
so I don't recall ever noticing that problem before.
If you cd to the real directory and then:
echo $PWD # to verify that it matches /bin/pwd
mv build build.00 # to start with a clean slate
bash ./common/bin/jib.sh configure -p linux-x64-debug
Does that work for you?
Yep.
So I guess something must have changed since I went away at the
beginning of June ... JIB 3 versus JIB 2 ?? (Though I did do some beta
testing with JIB 3 early on). Strange.
Thanks,

Went to do my first build in a couple of months. Sitting in top-level of
forest (with empty build directory - having deleted old config).
bash ./common/bin/jib.sh configure -p linux-x64-debug
yields:
configure: Current directory is /scratch/dh198349/jdk10-hs.
configure: Since this is not the source root, configure will output the
configuration here
configure: (as opposed to creating a configuration in
<src_root>/build/<conf-name>).
configure: However, this directory is not empty. This is not allowed,
since it could
configure: seriously mess up just about everything.
configure: Try 'cd /export/users/dh198349/jdk10-hs' and restart
configure
configure: (or create a new empty directory and cd to it).

That is very confusing:
1. what is a src_root and why does it think I would want to create
<src_root>/build/<conf-name> instead of ./build/<conf-name>?
2. Why does it tell me to try to cd to the directory I am already in???
( /scratch is a softlink to /export/users)
3. I created a new directory (build) and cd'd into as suggested,
which got:
Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/export/users/dh198349/jdk10-hs/build/configure (No such file or
directory)

I'm sure it wasn't this hard to run configure before I went on
vacation. :)
How do I persuade configure to create
<top-of-forest>/build/<conf-name> ?
And does the "advice" configure gave me make any sense?
Thanks,
David
