If you'd read my followup, you'd have seen that this occurs because of POSIXLY_CORRECT. --force is also not documented in the manual page, which means that either the man page needs an update, or gnome-autogen.sh needs not to use it. As for automake, this is documented in the Perl documentation for Getopt::Long, so we can assume that if the authors wanted automake to have different behavior, they would have made sure that that environment variable wasn't set. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
