No, that was one of the first things I tried. I wound up doing this:
.version-stamp: VERSION
@touch .version-stamp
./config.status --recheck
./config.status autoconf.h solaris/pkginfo
${MAKE}
all-local: .version-stamp
clean-local:
rm -f .version-stamp
...seems to work OK, though it sometimes causes an extra 'configure'
during build.
Thanks for responding.
