[jira] Commented: (STDCXX-18) bizarre failures due to missing BUILDDIR

["Lance Diduck (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-18?page=comments#action_12323164 ] 

Lance Diduck commented on STDCXX-18:
------------------------------------

Anything other than a full absolute path does not seem to work , and worse, different type of values produce different errors..
BUILDDIR=. --Calls make recursively until it hangs
BUILDDIR=../somebuild --works until it tries to find config.h  
BUILDDIR=somebuild --fails and prints error at line 262
Recommend putting in a check that BUILDDIR needs to look for a '/' t the begining

> I got bit by the fact that I didn't define BUILDDIR= in the top-level 
> Makefile - if JIRA were up, I'd file an issue to fix that.  Ideally, we 
> could emit an error message if BUILDDIR= isn't defined instead of erroring 
> out in a mix of confusing symlink errors.  Yes, README described the right 
> procedure; but I dislike docs.  ;-)
