--- Begin Message ---Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.48 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi, Could you please change in autotools-vars.mk: DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE = cd $(if $(DEB_BUILDDIR_$(cdbs_curpkg)),$(DEB_BUILDDIR_$(cdbs_curpkg)),$(DEB_BUILDDIR)) && $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT_ENV) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_NORMAL_ARGS) into: DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE = $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT_ENV) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_NORMAL_ARGS) And in autotools.mk: $(DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE) $(cdbs_configure_flags) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_USER_FLAGS) into: cd $(DEB_BUILDDIR) && $(DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE) $(cdbs_configure_flags) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS) $(DEB_CONFIGURE_USER_FLAGS) The current DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE is complicated but its complexity is not useful/usable: $(cdbs_curpkg) is "config.status" in the scope of $(DEB_BUILDDIR)/config.status in autotools.mk and I expect it to be the same in any custom rule calling a ./configure to generate a config.status. I wanted to call $(DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE) from a debian/rules using the configure/$package extension mechanism, but I couldn't due to the current form of $(DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE). Instead, I'm using: cd $(DEB_BUILDDIR_gtk2-engines-udeb) && \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT_ENV) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_NORMAL_ARGS) \ $(cdbs_configure_flags) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_USER_FLAGS) Would you apply the proposed changes, I could use the slightly better: cd $(DEB_BUILDDIR_gtk2-engines-udeb) && \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_INVOKE) \ $(cdbs_configure_flags) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS) \ $(DEB_CONFIGURE_USER_FLAGS) Alternatively, it might be possible to replace the current single configure call by a series of call, one per DEB_BUILDDIR_*, with a generic rule to build DEB_BUILDDIR_$package/config.status.
