Lustre devel - Apr 2007 - [Bug 12130] New: Relative paths passed to ./configure break build

Please don''t reply to lustre-devel. Instead, comment in Bugzilla by

If a relative path is used in an option to ./configure, the build fails in
cryptic ways.  For example:

./configure --with-linux=/root/cfs/linux-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL && make
[...]
make[4]: Entering directory `/root/cfs/HEAD/lustre/ldiskfs''
rm -rf linux-stage linux sources 
mkdir -p linux-stage/fs/ext3 linux-stage/include/linux
cp    linux-stage/fs/ext3
cp: missing destination file
Try `cp --help'' for more information.
make[4]: *** [sources] Error 1

We should at least detect this problem in ./configure, if not fix it.
