Just to confirm it here: If I start *build* in $SRC_ROOT it still hangs. This is on W32-tcsh with m138. > Dmake is supposed to be used at $SRC_ROOT and build used ONLY from > within a package. As Pavel already mentioned, this is not really true for dmake and it is definitely a bug that build hangs (or causes some error) if started from $SRC_ROOT. > Thus build will fail from $SRC_ROOT and dmake will > fail if started within a package.
