This commit broke VPATH builds when the original source directory contains symlinks. The $PWD is /home/myon/postgresql/pg/master, but the actual directory is /home/myon/projects/postgresql/pg/postgresql. When I mkdir build; cd build && ../configure there, I get a build directory missing a lot of files/directories: $ ls build/ config.log config.status* GNUmakefile meson.build src/ $ ls build/src/ backend/ include/ interfaces/ Makefile.global Makefile.port@ $ ls build/src/backend/ port/ Given there are no other changes I think this bit is at fault: > Modified Files > -------------- > configure.ac | 6 + +# Ensure that any meson build directories would reconfigure and see that +# there's a conflicting in-tree build and can error out. +if test "$vpath_build"="no"; then + touch meson.build +fi Christoph
