[Libevent-users] build problem: 'make' will try to configure again

[CheYi Lin <cheyi.lin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I got a autotools problem when building libevent 2.0.x.

If I extract libevent tarball with 'tar xzmf' ignore the archive timestamp,
the 'make' command will try to configure again.

[cheyi@/tmp]
$ tar xzmf libevent-2.0.18-stable.tar.gz
[cheyi@/tmp]
$ cd libevent-2.0.18-stable
[cheyi@/tmp/libevent-2.0.18-stable]
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
...
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
[cheyi@/tmp/libevent-2.0.18-stable]
$ make
 cd . && /bin/sh /tmp/libevent-2.0.18-stable/missing --run
automake-1.11 --foreign
aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.68.
You have another version of autoconf.  It may work, but is not guaranteed to.
If you have problems, you may need to regenerate the build system entirely.
To do so, use the procedure documented by the package, typically `autoreconf'.
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh
/tmp/libevent-2.0.18-stable/missing --run autoconf
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --no-create --no-recursion

checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
...
(re-configure then make)


After that (re-configure then make) I found 7 modified files

Makefile.in
aclocal.m4
config.h.in
configure
include/Makefile.in
sample/Makefile.in
test/Makefile.in

and 2 new files (dir)

autom4te.cache
config.h.in~


How to avoid this ? (modify/generate files into sources)

Thanks for your comments.
