Topic: autoconf build problem in kamikaze 8.09.1

Hello, everyone.

I've downloaded kamikaze_8.09.1_source.tar.bz2, and
copied ixp4xx.config to .config in top directory.

But compiling failed while autoconf 2.62 was compiled with the following message:

There seems to be no Makefile in this directory.
You must run ./configure before running `make'.
make[4]: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1

So, I cd'ed to build_dir/host/autoconf-2.62 and run ./configure after installing m4 package on host development
pc(ubuntu 9.10).

Makefile is generated but build system tries to install autoconf related things to below /usr/local/, causing
error due to permission denied.

Does anybody know a workaround to this?
Is there any --prefix like argument which I should specify when I run './configure'?

Thank you.

Seems to be worked around.

Autoconf seems to be built for building cross tool chian..
I manually ran configure and gave it --prefix command like this:

$ cd build_dir/host/autoconf-2.62
$ ./configure --prefix=${TOPDIR}/staging_dir/host/

where TOPDIR is the top directory where kamikaze source file was extracted.

autoconf successfully was built and compilation went on.
