What "git status" noticing any difference? Yes, the missing file seems to have been deleted: ``` $ git status On branch master Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) deleted: m4/m4.m4 Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) .bootstrap13738.0 .bootstrap13738.1 ``` I now have a working build on another distribution (Fedora). I still encountered the above issue with the missing m4/m4.m4 file. --- Cheers, Wouter. _______________________________________________ [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
