In --update mode, the settings come from the gnulib-cache.m4 file, in your case it's here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git/tree/m4/gnulib-cache.m4 > (but that is incompatible (why?) with ‘--conditional-dependencies’): Yes, --with-tests and --conditional-dependencies are currently incompatible. (because the logic is too complicated). Your gnulib-cache.m4 lists both gl_TESTS_BASE and gl_CONDITIONAL_DEPENDENCIES; this is where the conflict comes from. Remove one of them. > http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git/tree/autogen.sh#n21 According to the 'gnulib-tool --help' message, you are not supposed to use --conditional-dependencies with --update. The intended usage is that you invoke gnulib-tool --conditional-dependencies --import *once*, this will store the option in the gnulib-cache.m4 file. Then further uses of gnulib-tool --update will take the option from the gnulib-cache.m4 file. Likewise for --without-tests. Pass it once, then it will be stored. Bruno
