I want the people that receive my tarball to do autoreconf. Their system's autoconf-archive may be more up-to date than mine.
What is the best way to tell automake not to distribute (i.e. put in tarball), all the files created by autoreconf, ./configure? I especially do not want to distribute aclocal.m4 or files that contain it's info. I want the build system to get up-to-date files from its autoconf-archive files. I note these files are usually distributed by default, even though no dist_ statement is asking for them. Will it work to put the unwanted files in nodist_prog_SOURCES? Is there a canonical way to do this? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelli...@blackpatchpanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
