Sounds like 'gmkdir' doesn't do what 'install' does. > --with-infodir=~/.emacs.d/packages/dvc/docs didn't seem to work. That's not a defined option for configure. Do './configure --help' to see the defined options. > Using --infodir did work, but sub-optimally, because I have to specify an > absolute path. It won't let me specify my home directory via "~". Hmm. That should be expanded by the shell, not passed to configure.

Ah; I have not tested building from outside the source directory. So that's my bug, not autoconf's. We need a $(srcdir) or something. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
