Hello Nicolas,

I also don't know that problem. The directory that should be created
"///h" looks like there are some variables missing between the slashes.
But I'm not aware of any directory h that should be created somewhere.

- Did you upgrade from a earlier build or do you build in a fresh
checkout? There have been some changes to the build system in the last
months that have lead to incompatible cache files. If it is an old tree,
try to remove `build` and `.lock-waf_*`.

- About when does the problem happen? It seems your configure runs fine.
So I assume that it appears during build or install. Maybe you could
provide some lines of context to the error message?

Best regards
