Subject: configure.ac: place build artifacts in the "build-aux" directory.
X-Git-Tag: v0.4.3~6
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.michael.orlitzky.com/?p=apply-default-acl.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=74c97a249290c9e33e6f06a27f5c99fb5bce36d4

configure.ac: place build artifacts in the "build-aux" directory.

During the build, autotools generates a bunch of files that need a
place to live. By default, most of them (the "compile" and "missing"
scripts, for example) wind up in the project root. This commit sets

  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux])

in configure.ac so that the aforementioned files are placed in the
build-aux directory instead. This keeps the top-level directory
nice and clean.
