That's rather a different kettle of fish, because it triggers re-build rules that have to run automake itself, trapping you in a chicken-or-egg cycle. I'm relatively sure that an actual rename would have worked better, as should an attribute-preserved copy: cp -a automake-1.16.1 automake

Hello all,
I encountered some difficulties today when trying to compile automake
1.16.1 from the sources : automake wouldn't compile if the parent directory
was named automake.
If this is not a bug but a feature, a simple warning message would be nice
to prevent some other people from losing their mind link i did !
To reproduce the issue (one colleague of mine reproduced it):
# Code to reproduce the issue
tar -xzf automake-1.16.1.tar.gz
cp -r automake-1.16.1 automake
#This line will fail
cd automake && ./configure && make -j4
#This line will succeed
cd automake-1.16.1 && ./configure && make -j4
Error output :
[17:18:00] charles@localhost ~/dev/automake > make -j4
GEN t/testsuite-part.am
GEN m4/amversion.m4

/home/charles/dev/automake/pre-inst-env: line 41: exec: aclocal-1.16: not
found
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Success output :
