To be clear, the "relocatable" problem is not that you can't do this: $ cd make-4.2.90 $ mkdir _bld $ (cd _bld && ../configure && make) Then test like this: $ cd tests $ ./run_make_tests -make ../_bld/make I agree your change will make that work so I'll apply something like it. Rather, the above comment refers to testing like this: $ cd _bld/tests $ ./run_make_tests -make ../make That is, running the tests from within the remote build directory "tests", not from within the source directory "tests". _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
