Hotspot build failure with under Ubuntu 12.10 (infrabuild)

[David Holmes]

Hi Mani,

The formatting of your reply was a little mangled but to clarify a 
couple of things:

a) with the new build you never descend into the hotspot repo and run 
make there - it won't work. You just run "make hotspot" from the 
top-level (and if you want to rebuild hotspot it should be 
"hotspot-clean hotspot" IIRC)

b) A lot of environment variables from the old build are handled by 
specifying configure options in the new build. So a configuration 
becomes an embodiment of a set of options. But you may still need to set 
specific configure options - essentially replacing the environment 
variable with a configure option.
