> This seems like an automake question, not a make question. Confirming it to be so: (it is the bug described in) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (posted) to <[email protected]> on Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:43:38 +0400. So moving the discussion from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> here.
> You must 'configure > --enable-maintainer-mode' to However, that bug does not need neither `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' called in `configure' sources nor `--enable-maintainer-mode' passed to `configure'. The broken command for `$(srcdir)/Makefile.in' target does not depend on these, it is always generated the same. `--disable-maintainer-mode' only makes prerequisite list for that target to be empty. When `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' is not called, the target is always present, and with full prerequisite list. So, both in this case and when `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' is called and `--enable-maintainer-mode', the bug will manifest the same way. Anyway, many projects do not call `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE'. (From free ones can easily recall coreutils 6.12.) If you (or anybody else) care for detailed circumstances of me hitting that bug, neither did my projects call `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE', both production ones and toy ones (written solely to ease isolating the bug).
