Perhaps when a reconfiguration is triggered But all the reconfiguration does is regenerate Makefile's, and you say they all come out OK. And reconfiguration is triggered very often these days, so you should have seen this more frequently. Perhaps you should always create a log of a build (e.g., with 'tee'), and collect those that fail like this. Then, when you have a few, we could see what do they have in common. > Well, I certainly can rename C:/Devel to C:/devel and not to worry > again, but it is still quite puzzling why does it happens only part of > the time. I think it's just a subtle bug, all it is.
