Which is about five times as long as 'make'. I'm not sure what the problem would be with a Makefile in the source tree that just calls make in the build directory? It's convenient and doesn't hurt anyone who prefers to work directly in the build directory. > The odd one out here is configure, where you have to say > (cd build/whatever && ../../configure ...) > I have occasionally wondered if we should add an equivalent to > make's -C option to configure, but AFAIX autoconf-configures don't > have it, so it would be an odd non-standardism. Well, not allowing in-tree builds is an odd non-standardism, too, so I think some more non-standardisms to make it more bearable wouldn't be too bad. Kevin
