"make autoconf" from the src directory has always worked for me. That's how I tested recent patches I sent which did touch configure.in. There's no need to run autoconf manually and doing so will cause some files which configure generates to be placed in src/ instead of src/auto/. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@jamessan.com> -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
