Description Christian Persch 2005-10-22 20:01:31 UTC 
When your builddir is a subdir of srcdir, gnome-autogen.sh doesn't find
configure.ac, since it starts with "../". This broke with the fix from bug 311951.
Comment 1 James Henstridge 2005-10-23 04:08:48 UTC 
If you search for configure_files in gnome-autogen.sh, and change the pattern
'.?*' to '.[!.]*', does that fix the problem?
Comment 2 James Henstridge 2005-10-23 04:14:43 UTC 
Actually, the [!...] syntax doesn't seem to work with find here.  How about
'.??*'  instead?
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2005-10-23 08:54:09 UTC 
Yes, .??* appears to fix it.
Comment 4 James Henstridge 2005-10-24 04:46:08 UTC 
Fix committed to CVS.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2005-11-27 21:57:54 UTC 
The fix wasn't committed to the gnome-2-12 branch, only HEAD.
Comment 6 Shaun McCance 2006-12-01 17:28:36 UTC 
Can we just close this?  Nobody is going to make any gnome-2-12 release any more.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2006-12-01 17:41:11 UTC 
Ok, reresolving as FIXED since it's fixed on HEAD.
