[tlbuild] Unable to run `make dist`: No rule to make target 'README.6cross'

[Kłeczek, Paweł]

I've downloaded the whole repo using the following command:
rsync -a --delete --exclude=.svn tug.org::tldevsrc/ .

Then I've entered the Build/source directory and executed:
./configure -C --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=$HOME/texlive_wc --exec-prefix=$HOME/texlive_wc --with-banner-add='/WinCan' --without-x --disable-xetex --disable-xindy --disable-autosp --disable-axodraw2 --disable-devnag --disable-lacheck --disable-m-tx --disable-pmx --disable-ps2eps --disable-t1utils --disable-texdoctk --disable-tpic2pdftex --disable-vlna --disable-xml2pmx --disable-xpdfopen --disable-ipc --disable-etex-synctex --disable-ptex-synctex --disable-uptex-synctex --disable-euptex --disable-euptex-synctex --disable-aleph --disable-hitex --disable-pdftex-synctex --disable-luatex --disable-luajittex --disable-luahbtex --disable-luajithbtex --disable-xetex --disable-xetex-synctex --disable-mflua --disable-mfluajit --disable-web-progs --disable-synctex --disable-afm2pl --disable-bibtex-x --disable-bibtex8 --disable-bibtexu --disable-cjkutils --disable-detex --disable-dtl --disable-dvi2tty --disable-dvidvi --disable-dviljk --disable-dviout-util --disable-dvipdfm-x --disable-dvipng --disable-debug --disable-dvipos --disable-dvipsk --disable-dvisvgm --disable-gregorio --disable-gsftopk --disable-lcdf-typetools --disable-cfftot1 --disable-mmafm --disable-mmpfb --disable-otfinfo --disable-t1dotlessj --disable-t1lint --disable-t1rawafm --disable-t1reencode --disable-t1testpage --disable-ttftotype42 --disable-auto-cfftot1 --disable-auto-t1dotlessj --disable-auto-ttftotype42 --disable-makeindexk --disable-makejvf --disable-mendexk --disable-musixtnt --disable-ps2pk --disable-psutils --disable-seetexk --disable-ttf2pk2 --disable-ttfdump --disable-upmendex --disable-xdvik --disable-largefile --enable-build-in-source-tree

`make` command works fine, but when I try to execute `make dist`, I get the following error:

devel at Ubuntu22:~/TexLiveDev/svn/Build/source$ make dist
make  dist-xz am__post_remove_distdir='@:'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/devel/TexLiveDev/svn/Build/source'
make  distdir-am
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/devel/TexLiveDev/svn/Build/source'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'README.6cross', needed by 'distdir-am'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/devel/TexLiveDev/svn/Build/source'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:673: distdir] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/devel/TexLiveDev/svn/Build/source'
make: *** [Makefile:781: dist] Error 2

I have two questions:
1) How to avoid building in the source tree (to get rid of --enable-build-in-source-tree flag)?
2) How to be able to actually build the installable distribution, which I'll be able to use on the target machine? It should contain ALL the files needed to run pdflatex. Ideally, I'd like to create a portable distribution...

Best regards
Paweł
