Hmmm. I guess that this is the problem then: (cd ${DIRNAME} && ${FDESIGN} -convert ${FDFILE}) || { echo "\"${FDESIGN} -convert ${FDFILE}}\" failed. Please investigate." exit 1 } IIRC, fdesign must be run in the directory containing the .fd file. That changes with XForms 1.1, allowing '-dir destdir' to be passed to fdesign so that it outputs all generated files in destdir. That's no help here of course because we still support XForms 1.0. So I guess that you'll have to copy ${FDFILE} over to the build tree if build tree != src tree. You'll then be able to run fdesign in the build directory. -- Angus
