Corey Farrell commented on ASTERISK-27392:
------------------------------------------

I was using a relative path to shorten the {{./configure}} command-line but now I'm just setting {{AST_DOWNLOAD_CACHE}} instead.  I looked at the scripts/etc and I'm not sure there is a good fix for this.  autoconf manual \[1\] describes how to detect absolute paths, I'm thinking we should just have the configure script throw an error if {{\--with-download-cache}} or {{\--with-sounds-cache}} is a relative path.

> I just used {{./configure --with-download-cache=../asterisk-cache}}, this caused sound files to be downloaded into ../asterisk-cache relative to the sounds directory instead of relative to the {{$ASTTOPDIR}}.  pjproject tarball was downloaded to the correct location.
