Just my two cents. I do not know whether this is the problem in the case of the OP. It is definitely a fact though that if CDPATH is set and does not start with a colon, problems can develop. I did: export CDPATH=~/ (admittedly stupid CDPATH, but still.) ./configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars make bootstrap Result: [bash2.05b.0 ~/emacscvsdir/emacs 3 11] make bootstrap (cd src; make mostlyclean) /home/teirllm/src make[1]: Entering directory `/home/teirllm/src' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mostlyclean'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/teirllm/src' make: *** [bootstrap-clean-before] Error 2 The question of whether a change in Makefile.in is necessary is equivalent to the question of whether the Makefile should support values of CDPATH not starting with a colon. (If CDPATH starts with a colon, there should be no problem.) Sincerely, Luc.
