Neutrino is very different from QNX 4 - it is more Unix compliant - I think :)

But as you don't have the same OS do you still want it?

4.2.5 - seems one typo got by.

The most basic one is that my srcdir is:

srcdir = //1/tmp/autoconf/. . . 

With the three . on the end - I'm pretty sure this is a problem.

Previous email I sent addressed the issues that cwd & pwd will return different
results under some circumstances.

I am investigating why I also get a circular dependency on //1/tmp/autoconf/.
(srcdir) once I correct the Makefile and why make is looking for configure.in

GNU make is shipped with QNX it is 3.74 and from memory 3.76 does not configure
correctly - surprise :)
