https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/321 ** Changed in: qemu Status: Confirmed => Expired ** Bug watch added: gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues #321 https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/321 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922625 Title: qemu 5.2.0 configure script explodes when in read only directory Status in QEMU: Expired Bug description: I extracted the qemu 5.2.0 source as one user, and then tried to run `./configure --help` in that directory as a different user. Normal autoconf configure scripts have no problem with this but yours goes into an infinite loop printing nonsense: Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory ./configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied ./configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory Using './build' as the directory for build output mkdir: build: Permission denied etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1922625/+subscriptions
