Nobody changes settings in another source tree. It's just making some=20
links in our own.
OpenAFS and of course AFS (from Transarc and and later IBM) didn't=20
always have an autoconf/automake buildprocess so having makefiles=20
including always the same directories (you know those "-I./h" in the=20
Makefiles or the " #include <sys/whatever_header.h>" in the sourcecode=20=

for example) but having the appropriate directory linked there on=20
different platforms is pretty reasonable.
You won't have to change the sourcecode for every platform. It's full=20
of "ifdefs" and we actually don't need more of them.

I don't know about UM-Linux but on a lot of other platforms the=20
Makefiles are generated from the MakefileProto.<Platform> files by the=20=

Makefile itself. (which are created form the MakefileProto<Platform>.in=20=

by configure)
You should build from the AFS root tree if you changed the=20
"MakefileProto" files.
