Hi,

When jhbuilding pygtk with a builddir different of srcdir, I hit a but in the custom autogen.sh script of pygtk:
Running aclocal-1.8...
aclocal: couldn't open directory `/home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/build/pygtk/m4': Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
*** error during stage configure of pygtk: ########## Error running /home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/checkout/pygtk/autogen.sh --prefix /home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/prefix  --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc *** [29/147]

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,

Did you forget the patch?

Autogen out of tree

I probably did, and I wiped my jhbuild trees last time my hard disk crashed; I found a patch in my patch dir which looks related though.
