The configure script (and others?) doesn't manage properly the working directory
by Antonio Regidor García 10 Feb '05

Thanks for the fast reply! Here is another bug. If configure is invoked from a directory other than nhc98, it gets confused: [0]yo@Antonio:~$ ./nhc98/configure ./nhc98/configure: line 1: script/harch: No such file or directory Configuring for nhc98... [ v1.17 (CVS version) ] Configuration report for nhc98. (You can re-run configure to change settings before proceeding.) You wish (eventually) to install the following components in these locations: (Installation directories are not created/checked at this stage.) Final install root: /usr/local nhc98 binaries/libs: /usr/local/lib/nhc98/ hmake binaries: /usr/local/lib/hmake/ Interfaces/includes: /usr/local/include/nhc98 Scripts: /usr/local/bin Man pages: /usr/local/man/man1 Html documents: (none) Checking your binary distribution for integrity: Config directory: targets/ (exists) Executables and libs: /home/yo/lib/ (***MISSING!)
