I have MinGW set up on a flash drive, and it's a bit annoying to have to completely rebuild (almost) every time I plug it into a different computer.

Reported version: Version?
Operating system: All

Though I agree with the idea, and this was the actual idea when developing the configure system, it is unlikely to be implemented. The reason we full paths has to do with building (Mac OS X) universal binaries. These need to compile to different platforms, so they need an extra level of directories in objs/(release|debug). Not using full paths has caused many many problems in the past, which is why this approach has been taken.

Nevertheless, isn't /home always /home regardless of whether MinGW on C or of Q? Alternatively you could try using "subst".

andythenorth closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Won't implement

Flyspray clean up: more than 5 years old, and no obvious route to meeting this request, so closing. If this offends, discuss with andythenorth in irc. Thanks.
