sorry

here is a snippet:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.  -I/lib/openssl/include  -pthread
-g -O2 -Wreturn-type -Wmissing-prototypes -Wuninitialized -pthread -O2
-pipe  -D_L
ARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64   -pthread -O2 -pipe
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -MT wildcard.o -MD -MP -MF
".deps/wildcard.Tpo"
-c -o wildcard.o wildcard.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/wildcard.Tpo" ".deps/wildcard.Po"; else rm -f
".deps/wildcard.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
/bin/sh ../ylwrap cfparse.y y.tab.c cfparse.c y.tab.h cfparse.h
y.output cfparse.output -- bison -y  -d
got /home/rogelio/cfengine-2\.1\.22/src/
*** [cfparse.c] Error 1

the build succeeded when i accidentally untarred on top of a
configured tree. it seems ylwrap somehow deletes cfparse.c. I thought
that cfparse.c was going to be generated by ylwrap. so i tried
everything i can to make ylwrap generate cfparse.c.

im really sick of this autotools stuff
