Use dirname $0 instead of pwd to compute srcdir in autogen (398 bytes, patch)

Description Loïc Minier 2007-02-18 11:37:53 UTC 
Hi,

When jhbuilding pygobject with a builddir different of srcdir, I hit a but in the custom autogen.sh script of pygobject:
Running aclocal-1.8...
aclocal: couldn't open directory `/home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/build/pygobject/m4': Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
*** error during stage configure of pygobject: ########## Error running /home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/checkout/pygobject/autogen.sh --prefix /home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/prefix  --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc *** [26/147]

This is because the autogen script uses `pwd` to compute srcdir.

I'll attach a patch which updates autogen.sh to use `dirname $0` instead.

Of course, it would be better to use a more standard autogen on the long term.

Bye,
