Hello. I'm trying to build mono under Yocto. Recently (so I've heard) there were some changes such that the autotools scripts are being run from outside of the source tree.
I presume this is something like: cd mono mkdir monobuild cd monobuild ../autogen.sh [cmorgan@localhost monobuild]$ ../autogen.sh --prefix=/home/cmorgan/mono-prefix grep: configure.in: No such file or directory ../autogen.sh: line 125: mono/mini/Makefile.am: No such file or directory ../autogen.sh: line 126: mono/metadata/Makefile.am: No such file or directory Running aclocal -I m4 -I . ... aclocal: error: 'configure.ac' is required **Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal" for the prefix where you installed the packages whose macros were not found This doesn't appear to work because several things in autogen.sh assume that the files are present in the current working directory. Some other steps however do use $srcdir. My question is whether it seems like a reasonable idea to correct autogen.sh to remove the assumption that builddir == sourcedir. If so then I'll go down this route and send a patch. If not then I'll use a Yocto work around for projects that don't/can't support doing that. I'm not big on papering over issues so I do prefer the first option but I didn't want to start work if it turns out that it may be a nearly impossible task.
