wpa-2.10 pair of files with same names in 2 different locations causing build problems

[Jim Crites]

Johannes,

I am using a QNX build system. It currently, or at least how I have it setup, does not separate object files into separate folders. Everything goes into one folder. The only separate object folders are for chip architecture, armle-v7, aarch64, x86, and x86-64. 

I was thinking of renaming the config files in ../src/utils/ to something link util_config.c and util_config.h and the updating the files that include the original ./util/config.h to pickup the renamed one. There are very few files that use the ./src/util version.

Duplicate file names in different locations are a problem for our builds.

Thanks,
Jim

What kind of build system do you have? The current upstream build system separates the object files into separate build directories etc. ...
