I'm trying to configure a utility using autoconf, when I run
./configure I get all the usual checking sort of stuff, then at the
end:-
checking for XShapeCombineMask in -lXext... no
checking for jpeg_destroy_compress in -ljpeg... no
not updating unwritable cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
sed: can't read confdefs.h: No such file or directory
creating autoconf/Makefile.defines
sed: can't read ./autoconf/Makefile.defines.in: No such file or
directory
creating autoconf/Makefile.common
sed: can't read ./autoconf/Makefile.common.in: No such file or
directory
creating autoconf/Makefile.common.lib
sed: can't read ./autoconf/Makefile.common.lib.in: No such file or
directory
creating Makefile
sed: can't read ./Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating config.h
cat: ./autoconf/config.h.in: No such file or directory
config.h is unchanged
... but all those errors are nonsense, there is a writable
./config.cache (created earlier by autoconf) and the autoconf
directory does exist and has those files in it.
What am I missing?
