Hi Pavel,
I have found the offending statement :)
It is:
# If the user did not use the arguments to specify the items to instantiate,
# then the envvar interface is used. Set only those that are not.
if $ac_need_defaults; then
: ${CONFIG_FILES=$config_files}
fi
Before this CONFIG_FILES is blank and config_files has the list of files.
After this CONFIG_FILES has tests/atconfig and nothing else!
Changing this to:
# If the user did not use the arguments to specify the items to instantiate,
# then the envvar interface is used. Set only those that are not.
if $ac_need_defaults; then
CONFIG_FILES=$config_files
fi
Worked.
I'm not sure this is real portable though :)
I now have makefiles and the Make produced the following output:
Makefile:142: warning: overriding commands for target `//1/tmp/autoconf/.'
Makefile:132: warning: ignoring old commands for target `//1/tmp/autoconf/.'

Ah the joys of QNX - where should I start to look for solving this then?
The Makefile or the recheck?
