I'm using automake-1.9.6 and am having problems with texinfo files and a
read only source tree. In my generated Makefile.in, there is the
following suffix rule:
.texi.info:
restore=: && backupdir="$(am__leading_dot)am$$$$" && \
am__cwd=`pwd` && cd $(srcdir) && \
rm -rf $$backupdir && mkdir $$backupdir && \
if ($(MAKEINFO) --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
for f in $@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] $(@:.info=).i[0-9]
$(@:.info=).i[0-9][0-9]; do \
if test -f $$f; then mv $$f $$backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
done; \
else :; fi && \
cd "$$am__cwd"; \
if $(MAKEINFO) $(AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS) $(MAKEINFOFLAGS) -I $(srcdir) \
-o $@ $<; \
then \
rc=0; \
cd $(srcdir); \
else \
rc=$$?; \
cd $(srcdir) && \
$$restore $$backupdir/* `echo "./$@" | sed 's|[^/]*$$||'`; \
fi; \
rm -rf $$backupdir; exit $$rc
Of particular interest is it explicitly goes to the source directory
(read only) and tries to create a backup directory there. Obviously
this will fail if the source directory is read only.
Suggestions?
Is this a bug or am I doing something illegal to ever trigger this rule?
Thanks
