[BuildTools] Build problem with OS on Ubuntu

[Gus Gassmann]

I have a problem building OS under Ubuntu. It seems that during the 
configure step none of the dependency files *.Plo are getting built. This 
results in, for example, the error:

make[1]: Entering directory `home/gassmann/OS-vpath/ThirdParty/HSL'
Makefile:389: .deps/dummy.Plo: No such file or directory.

I don't understand this error. The only thing unusual about the setup is that I 
run Ubuntu as a virtual machine under Microsoft Vista 64 and that the file 
system that contains the source is shared and controlled by Vista. It is 
available to Ubuntu in the /mnt hierarchy. (I did not set up the system myself 
and don't know much more about it than that.)

I used the following command in my vpath directory 
(/home/gassmann/OS/vpath) to run configure:

/mnt/hgfs/DataFiles/OS/configure

Any idea what may be going wrong?

Thanks
