Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Create the directories and the files
$ mkdir -p autoconf include/common src
$ touch src/main.cpp autoconf/configure.ac
2. Edit the contents of autoconf/configure.ac:
AC_PREREQ([2.69])
AC_INIT([foo], 3.1, [victor.lav...@gmail.com])
LT_INIT
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([src/main.cpp])
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([include/common/config.h])
AC_OUTPUT
3. Run autoreconf
$ autoreconf -v autoconf/configure.ac
4. Notice the error: autoheader-2.69: cannot
rename /tmp/arvJbwKq/ahY1jPcF/config.hin as include/common/config.h.in:
No such file or directory
Also note that no file is generated in include/common
5. Now run autoheader
$ autoheader-2.69 autoconf/configure.ac
6. Notice that it works, and include/common/config.h.in is generated
I hope this helps
