Autoconf tries to allow for absolute paths that contain spaces and other shell metacharacters, as long as the build tree itself does not add any further; but it may not always succeed (patches welcome). But even if autoconf is perfect in its use of quoting, many other packages write configure.ac that are not as careful. In this regards, I suspect that it is the SystemC code at fault for not handling metacharacters in the absolute path. In fact, it may be an unfixable problem; the 'make' language is very unforgiving in its syntax (it lacks double quotes that shell has), and any project that uses automake in addition to autoconf to generate the configure/Makefile pairs may result in a generated Makefile that cannot deal with absolute paths that aren't sane. So unless you can point to a specific error message, and prove that it comes from autoconf proper and not from SystemC's configure.ac file, I'm inclined to think this is not an autoconf bug, but a normal limitation that you'll just have to work around via symlink or mount point. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
