Ah, by "VPATH build directory" I meant the build tree in a VPATH build as opposed to the source tree, $builddir not $srcdir as it is to configure. > It seems cleanest to me that apr-util should look in a single directory > for all artifacts it needs from the apr build. Yah, I guess the apr configure script could be changed to copy the awk scripts and mkdir.sh from $abs_srcdir/build to $abs_builddir/build for a VPATH build, and then apr-config --installbuilddir could always print $abs_builddir/build for the non-installed case, and never $abs_srcdir/build. I think that would work... I don't have any better ideas anyway. joe
