A general comment: If you look at the output of a typical build from an autotooled package, then there is very little that varies for different builds. So this problem actually applies not only to this case, but to many different cases as well.
Perhaps so. I only considered my own selfish case.
There is one crucial exception: `make' prints notices when it enters and leaves a directory. These notices contain absolute directories. They typically come right after a failure such as the one you posted.
I assume you mean GNU make? I don't think that all make programs do this. Even GNU make may be executed in a quiet mode where it does not print directory entry and exit messages.
Yes, sure, and I'm really undecided about this particular case, but I'd prefer a clear logic of which set of messages all would need to provide an absolute path and which don't need to, so that we can fix all instances and not keep iterating.
That would be a good plan. Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/
