Subject: fail guile-1.8.1 (different user src dir): build wants to modify src directory
Date: Fri, 11 May 2007 14:30:29 +0200 (MET DST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200705111230.OAA01343@neuro.insel.ch> (raw)


Hi
The build of guile in an object directory different
from the src directory (belonging to a different user,
for example unpacked by root or on RO media) also fails
because the build wants to modify the src directory tree!

Should the building not also work when the src is read-only
(for example, a CDROM)? All modifications should be made in
the destination (object) directory tree?

Workaround: copy the src tree to a location where the building
user has write permissions.

Greetings
Arto
