The present Autoconf documentation reads
| Limitations of Make
| ===================
| [...]
| `VPATH'
| Don't use it! For instance any assignment to `VPATH' causes Sun
| `make' to only execute the first set of double-colon rules.
Akim pasted this comment here from acgeneral.m4 where it was
added six years ago:
| Fri Mar 18 00:43:21 1994 David J. MacKenzie (address@hidden)
|
| * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Remove VPATH lines if srcdir=., to
| work around Sun make bug. From Karl Berry.
Does it still applies ? How can I reproduce this ?
I'd like to upgrade this section with other VPATH limitations
but I do not understand this one.
