I still think some day config.status should be granted a
$builddir-award ;)
Look at what Zsh guys are doing:
configure:
| dnl The standard config.status is missing some essential features.
| dnl So add them now. See the comment at the end of Src/mkmakemod.sh.
| [rm -f $CONFIG_STATUS.old
| cp $CONFIG_STATUS $CONFIG_STATUS.old
| sed '1,$s@^\( *ac_file_inputs=\).*$@\1`echo $ac_file_in | sed -e "s%^%:%" -e
|"s%:\\([^!]\\)% $ac_given_srcdir/\\1%g" -e "s%:!% %"`@' \
| $CONFIG_STATUS.old >$CONFIG_STATUS
| rm -f $CONFIG_STATUS.old]
Src/mkmakemod.sh:
| if $second_stage; then
|
| trap "rm -f $the_subdir/${the_makefile}" 1 2 15
|
| # The standard config.status requires the pathname for the .in file to
| # be relative to the top of the source tree. As we have it in the build
| # tree, this is a problem. zsh's configure script edits config.status,
| # adding the feature that an input filename starting with "!" has the
| # "!" removed and is not mangled further.
| CONFIG_FILES=$the_subdir/${the_makefile}:\!$the_subdir/${the_makefile}.in
|CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status
|
| fi
Their syntax is not too bad: files to be found in builddir are tagged
with a leading !.
