Subject: Strange problem with XEmacs ./configure
6 Jun 1998 07:27:02 -0700 :
Message-ID: <BB19A85E3397D11190EA00805F57038777AB.cygnus.gnu-win32@PDX1NT02>
Mime-Version: 1.0
To: "'xemacs-nt AT xemacs DOT org'" <xemacs-nt AT xemacs DOT org>,
"'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" <gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com>

This is what I get:

	/usr/src/xemacs-21.0-b42$ ./configure
	: Usage error:
	  The directory specified with the `--srcdir' option,
	', doesn't seem to contain the XEmacs sources.  You should
	' script at the top of the XEmacs source
	  tree, or use the `--srcdir' option to specify the XEmacs
source directory.
	 --help' to show usage.

The configure script should not produce output like this; this is the
relevant section of it.

    if test ! -f "$srcdir/src/lisp.h" -o \
	    ! -f "$srcdir/lisp/version.el" ; then
      (echo "$progname: Usage error:"
echo " " "The directory specified with the \`--srcdir' option,
  \`$srcdir', doesn't seem to contain the XEmacs sources.  You should
  either run the \`$progname' script at the top of the XEmacs source
  tree, or use the \`--srcdir' option to specify the XEmacs source
directory."
echo "  Use \`$progname --help' to show usage.") >&2 && exit 1

I have reinstalled both the XEmacs source and Cygwin b19.2; here is a
uname -a

	/usr/src/xemacs-21.0-b42$ uname -a
	CYGWIN32_95 JEFF-PAULSEN 4.0 19.2 i586 unknown

Anyone have ANY idea what this is about?
