I'd be willing to, but it wouldn't then also get access to new files that appear in the test suite, (where the Makefiles could actually find new, uncopied source files). But wait, what am I thinking... the whole approach of the non-srcdir builds as currently implemented also copies the Makefiles. So nothing at all is going to work without re-running configure for non-srcdir builds. I suppose that what we want is for configure to automatically add dependencies for every file that it copies. Then if any of these copied files get changed in the srcdir, configure would be run again. That should be pretty slick, I think. =2DCarl =2D-=20 carl.d.worth@intel.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFNeZ7Z6JDdNq8qSWgRAt9tAJ9trHYYbser1ttFzoMODc/jqvvB/ACeJXwy RdpisSTJMjfYSgw0kbFzylE= =gfVT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
