Do you have any idea how to resolve that mystery? The only thing I can think of is that somehow doc/misc/makefile was open in another program, in which case Windows will not let configure.bat overwrite it. Or something similar. But I think in that case configure.bat should have either asked whether to overwrite the file or produce an error message. IOW, I'm stumped. > Is it possible that touching one of these files in the trunk has > caused configure do something different? Don't think so. This part of configure.bat does not check for files' existence or up-to-dateness, it blindly overwrites them. > But I still have the bug in my branch which also contains the same bad > makefile I sent you earlier. And if you run configure.bat there, does the problem go away there as well?
