I know, that's why I wrote: """ The main change is that jhbuild runs the autogen script from within the build directory, instead of running it into the source directory and then running the configure script from the build directory. """ Continuous does: $(srcdir): NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh $(builddir): $(srcdir)/configure $(arguments) $(builddir): make whereas jhbuild (and most of our build instructions) let the autogen.sh script call the configure script directly. > Which is a bit of a shame when the jhbuild implementation was done to > avoid continuous breaking. And that might also have explained a number > of the breakages you've found. In general, autogen.sh needs to cope with non-srcdir invocation because the usual way to build with jhbuild is not. A large number of GNOME modules, including the ones still using gnome-autogen.sh, support this out of the box. The breakages I've seen mostly come from copy-pasting autogen.sh from other (older) sources, or incomplete attempts to support non-srcdir builds.
