Without looking at the actual issue (no time), and just as a pointer to a solution: If autoconf/automake are involved, there are pre-defined variables such as $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir) and similar that could replace hard-coded prefixes such as "../..". Details: Please see the "Preset Output Variables" section in the autoconf manual. -- Matthias Andree -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
