[bug-GNUnet] problem building GNUnet-0.6.0a

[Mike Castle]

I try to build all autoconfiscated packages outside of srcdir (that is
srcdir != builddir).  The INSTALL that comes with GNUnet suggests that this
should work.

This fails for GNUnet-0.6.0a with the following:

i386-linux-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../GNUnet-0.6.0a/src/util 
-I../../src/include -DPLUGIN_PATH=\"/usr/lib\" -DELIBDIR=\"\" 
-fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -g -O2 -MT bloomfilter.lo -MD -MP -MF 
.deps/bloomfilter.Tpo -c ../../../GNUnet-0.6.0a/src/util/bloomfilter.c -fPIC 
-DPIC -o .libs/bloomfilter.lo
../../../GNUnet-0.6.0a/src/util/bloomfilter.c:42:25: gnunet_util.h: No such 
file or directory

Followed by a whole bunch of errors....

Now the thing is that configure.ac has config.h go into src/include, which
causes $(top_builddir)/src/include to be added to DEFAULT_INCLUDES.  When
building inside the srcdir, this causes the correct src/include to be added
to the list of includes quite by accident.

What should probably be done is change to AM_CONFIG_HEADER([config.h]), and
add appropriate INCLUDES to various Makefile.am to allow proper
compilation.

Hmm... it looks like at least one of the files includes config.h.  This is
probably a really bad idea.  The includes should be refactored so that
installed headers either don't need to include certain files, or it should
be required that the calling application includes things in the correct
order.
