It is definitely a fact though that if CDPATH is set and does not start with a colon, problems can develop. If it is not easy to fix this problem, please don't worry about it too much. It would be worth a small effort, but not a large one. I set CDPATH in my shell to ~/, a highly inappropriate value for emacs/Makefile.in and did: make distclean ./configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars make bootstrap sudo make install without any problems after applying the trivial patch below. A caveat is in order though. I am not an expert on Makefile.in. If Makefile.in for some strange reason needs to access the user's CDPATH, then I am suggesting something dangerous, even though it works perfectly for me. (I usually do not have CDPATH set.) This seems excessively unlikely to me. ===File ~/Makefile.in-diff================================== *** Makefile.in.~1.284.~ Mon Feb 2 16:31:15 2004 --- Makefile.in Tue Feb 3 10:35:22 2004 *************** *** 53,58 **** --- 53,60 ---- SHELL = /bin/sh + CDPATH= + # If Make doesn't predefine MAKE, set it here. @SET_MAKE@ ============================================================
