The circular dependency is this:
Makefile <-- Makefile.in <-- .depend <-- corelib/camlimages.ml <--
<-- Makefile
Comments:
* Makefile.in <-- .depend
This is because automake creates Makefile.in from Makefile.am and all
included files. Your Makefile.am includes .depend.
* .depend <-- corelib/camlimages.ml via the $(OCAMLSOURCES)
You specified the dependency:
corelib/camlimages.ml <-- Makefile
This is not correct. You should specify the ultimate primary sources
instead of `Makefile'. Prehaps `Makefile.am' is enough?
I hope this hint helps you to find a fix.
Have a nice day,
