Re: External modules

If you build *inside* the XEmacs source tree, then it is not necessary, since $hdir contains only one value, and therefore $thisdir == $hdir, and the loop is executed exactly once. If you build *outside* the XEmacs source tree (like I do, due to supporting multiple architectures), then it is necessary, since $hdir contains two values. As the code stands, it will cd to the same directory (the build directory, as it happens) on both iterations of the loop and so will fail to ever cd to the source directory containing header files. The loop is executed twice, but does the same thing both times. Try building outside the source tree. The header files don't get installed. -- Jerry James
