Comment 3 for bug 285841

This does look very much like a issue with autotools getting confused.

Could you please try again without all the unnecessary stuff (all those cds, prefixes to configure, setting up all the variables). I would bet that it will work then.

If it does work then you are probably running into some escaping hell... autotools sometimes get a very different notion of what belongs together than the rest of the world. Try adding one variable at a time till something breaks and check the shell code for the stuff that it is complaining about. I bet it has a space to much/few or some really wired escaping:-)

If it does not work, even without all the above changes: Could you please tar up the buildsystem files (and everything else;-) for me so that I can take a look? Your example code is not super secret, is it?

Best Regards,
Tobias
