Re: error: installing './INSTALL'; error while making link: File exists

In reading that code, it looks like I could go figure out where the INSTALL file normally lives and just copy the thing into my build tree as part of my "create derived sources" step. I'd really rather have autoreconf do it, but not if it is going to fail on me. On Sun, Sep 1, 2019 at 4:39 PM

Long, long ago I learned that the safest thing is to purge my build directory and create a new one. After that, I link in all of my managed sources and then create any derived sources I need. After doing that, I run "autoreconf" and get the result you see. IOW, it is a really clean directory. On
