I made autogen.pl take care of removing stale generated-m4 files automatically, so no one should need to manually rm any .m4 files. Just running autogen.pl should be sufficient. Additionally, making nightly tarballs was accidental collateral damage. I'm working on fixing this; I think I'm pretty close.
I updated the wiki pages last week with all you need to know about the improvements to the build system: https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/devel/Autogen https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/devel/CreateComponent https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/devel/CreateFramework If you make any new components or frameworks, I highly suggest you re-read these pages. A note from a prior email is critically important for all developers: >>>>> ******************************************************** >>>>> *** THE MOST IMPORTANT THING DEVELOPERS NEED TO KNOW *** >>>>> ******************************************************** >>>>> >>>>> <IMPORTANT> >>>>> If your component has a configure.m4 file, it MUST call AC_CONFIG_FILES >>>>> for your Makefile.am! (and/or any files that you want configure to >>>>> generate). We converted all existing configure.m4 files -- the >>>>> ompi/mca/btl/tcp/configure.m4 is a nice simple example to see what I mean. >>>>> </IMPORTANT> >>>>> >>>>> There's some other changes and improvements, but most of them are behind >>>>> the scenes. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
