If I untar the latest sigc++ release (2.2.1) and run the following: $ touch sigc++/macros/template.macros.m4 $ mkdir builddir $ cd builddir $ ../configure $ make
the build will fail like this: make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/libsigc++-2.2.1/builddir' Making all in sigc++ make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/libsigc++-2.2.1/builddir/sigc++' m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/signal.h.m4 > signal.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/slot.h.m4 > slot.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/method_slot.h.m4 > method_slot.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/object_slot.h.m4 > object_slot.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/class_slot.h.m4 > class_slot.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/hide.h.m4 > hide.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/retype.h.m4 > retype.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/macros/limit_reference.h.m4 > limit_reference.h m4 -I ../../sigc++/macros -I macros ../../sigc++/functors/macros/functor_trait.h.m4 > functors/functor_trait.h /bin/sh: functors/functor_trait.h: No such file or directory Commenting out the rule that tries to rebuild .h and .cc files seems to prevent the build failure; since the files shipped in the .tar.gz are presumably correct, I'll do that for now in the Debian package. I don't know what a proper fix looks like: presumably if those files are autogenerated they should be produced in the build directory, not the source directory, but that probably requires changing more of the build system. Are VPATH builds generally supported by libsigc++, or should I look at transitioning the Debian packaging away from using VPATH?
