Re: tmpfs compilation

Hi!

Maksym, this has been a bit light on details.  You should always give
complete examples what you have done, so that others can reproduce it.

Yes, the latter is indeed the configure script you should run.  Sorry, I
didn't even remember that we have a [hurd]/hurd/configure (for
install-headers solely), too.

My suggestion on IRC was to have a build tree *outside* of the Hurd
sources directory: for example, $PWD/hurd-build/ for building, and
$PWD/hurd/ containing the sources.  Thus, ``cd hurd-build/ &&
../hurd/configure --disable-profile [...]''.

That's strange.  Have you added/removed any files?  (That's what I would
empirically guess from ``Error 2''.)  What kind of changes have you done?

I just tried to reproduce this with a build inside a subdirectory of the
source directory (your ``../configure'' case), and after a first ``make
tmpfs'', I ``modified'' the tmpfs sources (``touch ../tmpfs/*''), and
then the next ``make tmpfs'' works without any issues for me.
