Package: automake1.9 Version: 1.9.5-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4
*** Please type your report below this line *** Directory path/to/product-3.0.0 is the top of the source tree using automake et all. path/to/product-3.0.0 was configured with --enable-maintainer-mode. path/to/product-testing is a symlink to path/to/product-3.0.0. When I `cd path/to/product-testing && make` after changing a Makefile.am, `/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck` is invoked. This fails with "configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first" because file configure, invoked by ./config.status, effectively performs the test `cd path/to/product-3.0.0 && pwd` != "path/to/product-testing", which is true, but should be false as the directories behind the different names are one and the same. A possible solution is replacing the test if test "`cd $srcdir && pwd`" != "`pwd`" && with if test "`cd $srcdir && ls --directory --inode .`" != "`ls --directory --inode .`" && The test above occurs in file /usr/share/aclocal-1.9/init.m4 at line 35, and perhaps at other places. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages automake1.9 depends on: ii autoconf 2.59a-3 automatic configure script builder ii autotools-dev 20050422.1 Update infrastructure for config.{ -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
