No, I just didn't specify it on the command line. The fundamental problem
is that it's trying to use the package's --prefix to find the INSTALL file
from util-macros, which may have been installed at a different prefix:
$ ./configure --prefix=/no-such-directory
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
[..etc..]
$ make dist
(GIT_DIR=./.git git log > ./.changelog.tmp && mv ./.changelog.tmp ./ChangeLog)
|| (rm -f ./.changelog.tmp; touch ./ChangeLog; echo 'git directory not found:
installing possibly empty changelog.' >&2)
if test -f /no-such-directory/share/doc/util-macros/INSTALL; then cp -f
/no-such-directory/share/doc/util-macros/INSTALL .; else echo
'/no-such-directory/share/doc/util-macros/INSTALL cannot be found.' >&2; fi
/no-such-directory/share/doc/util-macros/INSTALL cannot be found.
{ test ! -d "xf86-video-nv-2.1.15" || { find "xf86-video-nv-2.1.15" -type d !
-perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr "xf86-video-nv-2.1.15"; }; }
test -d "xf86-video-nv-2.1.15" || mkdir "xf86-video-nv-2.1.15"
cp: cannot stat `./INSTALL': No such file or directory
make: *** [distdir] Error 1
Note that it's trying to copy from
/no-such-directory/share/doc/util-macros/INSTALL even though util-macros
was installed with --prefix=/usr.
Peter: Note that, like ChangeLog, INSTALL is also not cleaned by anything
short of a "git clean -xf" so you probably have one laying around from
earlier.
