Hello,
yes, the user is right, but what does they mean?
./config.status --file whatever-file-you-like or
./config.status --header whatever-file-you-like ?
Do you think that config.status should examine the contents of the *.in
file to guess what you mean?
Also note that if configure.ac had specified
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h:configh.in]
then
./config.status config.h
uses configh.in, while
./config.status --header config.h
uses cofig.h.in. Which of the two different procedures should be triggered by
./config.status ./config.h ?
Have a nice day,
