Well, not a big deal for me -- I'm just used to building projects containing a configure file outside of the source tree, and the notmuch build machinery at first accepted this, but then fell over. > What do other build systems generally do when running configure from > some other directory? What Rob said -- but: why re-invent Autoconf / Automake if it's already there? I totally admit that the GNU Autotools have their ugly corners (and indeed a lot of these), but on the other hand they do solve some issues quite nicely. You surely had reasons to not use these tools, and that's fine with me. (And I'm not especially interested in working on build systems -- done that enough in the past.) Have you looked at other tools before going for the straight-forward (and that is very fine!) Makefile-based solution? Grüße, Thomas
