Following the suggestions in the manual, I create a rule like
GNUmakefile: GNUmakefile.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
cd $(top_builddir) && CONFIG_FILES=$@ CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status
to automatically rebuild the makefiles. The above won't work in a
subdirectory, so how about
GNUmakefile: GNUmakefile.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
CONFIG_FILES=$@ CONFIG_HEADERS= $(top_builddir)/config.status
That works okay as far as re-creating the makefile is concerned, but for
some reason config.status also recreates all AC_LINK_FILES at that time
(why?), which fails:
$ CONFIG_FILES=GNUmakefile CONFIG_HEADERS= ../../config.status
creating GNUmakefile
linking ./src/backend/port/dynloader/linux.c to src/backend/port/dynloader.c
configure: error: ./src/backend/port/dynloader/linux.c: File not found
Okay, so maybe I could do
GNUmakefile: GNUmakefile.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
dir=`pwd` && cd $(top_builddir) && \
CONFIG_FILES=$$dir/$@ CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status
but it's already ugly as it is. Is this addressed in the development
version?
