Hello Guix, >From a fresh checkout of the guix source, a vpath build fails when trying to create doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png:
$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git [...] $ cd guix && ./bootstrap [...] $ mkdir build && cd build && ../configure [...] $ make [...] /bin/bash /tmp/guix/build-aux/missing dot -Tpng -Gratio=.9 -Gnodesep=.005 -Granksep=.00005 -Nfontsize=9 -Nheight=.1 -Nwidth=.1 < "../doc/images/bootstrap-graph.dot" > "doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png.tmp" /bin/bash: doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png.tmp: File or directory not found Makefile:3318: recipe for target 'doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png' failed make[2]: *** [doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png] Error 1 $ ls doc $ mkdir doc/images $ make [...] $ echo $? 0 After configure I don't see a "doc" directory, so it's being created at some point, but it looks like the doc/images directory isn't being created before make wants to put bootstra-graph.png there. I don't recall running into this problem a couple days ago. -- `~Eric
