-From 75372b8088c20474497b79ec6cf1e99f2d17f56d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>
-Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 13:23:38 +0300
-Subject: [PATCH] buildsystem: do not assume building in source tree.
-
-Use $(top_srcdir) as reference for include paths and buildtime scripts.
-Otherwise compilation outside of project root directory will fail
-because header and script paths are wrong.
-
-To reproduce: mkdir b; cd b; ../configure; make
-
-Upstream-status: Accepted [https://git.linuxtv.org//v4l-utils.git/commit/?id=bd98c9a99bffc8d44c54859345e4dfee0ada4275]
