Hi Alisdair, >> Doesn't work ... --with-simgear=RELATIVE_PATH ... >> Is this normal?
Do not (yet) know or understand enough about 'automake' to know if it is 'normal' to fail with a relative path... But when you think about it '../simgear-cs' would NOT be correct when compiling in say the 'src' directory, and deeper down into 'src/Prep/Terra', 'src/Airports/GenAirports', etc, etc... it would only be valid for a root terragear-cs compile, and there are no sources in there... What you are expecting is that 'automake' fixes the relative directory for every level it does the compile in... and this seems very difficult, if not impossible... In other words you need to give a directory that will be valid no matter at what level, or depth the compile is happening at in the directory structure... So I guess 'relative' is OUT ;=() except perhaps in the most simplest of cases where the only sources to compile are also in the root folder... Windows MSVC on the other hand gets around this, and you CAN supply a path relative to the SINGLE location of the specific VCPROJ file... as it then compiles all sources in that folder... putting the temporary object files, etc in say the 'Debug' folder, or as you direct it for output...
