Well, as it turns out, it doesn't exactly work as a build from a separate directory should work: The benchmark tests and the HTML page are still created in the source directory! This must not happen. Everything must be created in the build directory (except the output of `./autogen.sh`, but this is not related to your work). For fixing this I suggest to use two different (Unix) users: one for testing, and one for modifying the source code, and the former has no write access to the latter. You can then immediately identify where `make baseline` and friends try to write to the source directory. Some other remarks. * I'm a bit unhappy about ``` Creating baseline... ``` as the only information while the computer churns and grinds, so to say, for some time. I would rather like to see ``` Creating baseline foo bar ... Baseline created ``` or something similar. An alternative (or addition) is to show a percentage of how many fonts have been processed already. * Please add links to the original baseline and benchmark `.txt` files; they contain much more information than displayed on the HTML page.
