[Nasm-devel] building outside the source directory

[Ed B. <be...@mi...>]

Today, for the first time in a long time, I refreshed my local copy of 
the NASM repo and tried to do a built outside the source directory, as 
is my usual practice.  It failed.

Specifically, if you clone the source into a fresh new directory "nasm" 
and then create and navigate into "nasm/build" I would expect the 
following steps to successfully do a build:

autoreconf .. -i
../configure
make

However it fails because of the generated file pptok.sh

I believe I can fix this, but before I expend the effort to do so, I 
wanted ask some questions:

1. can you reproduce this problem?
2. do you agree it should be fixed?

Thanks.

Ed
