Jeff and all,
i just found "by accident" that make can require autotools.
for example:
from (generated) ompi/include/Makefile :
$(srcdir)/mpi.h.in: $(am__configure_deps)
($(am__cd) $(top_srcdir) && $(AUTOHEADER))
rm -f stamp-h2
touch $@
and $(am__configure_deps) is a bunch (all?) of .m4 files.
from a pragmatic point of view, it means that if update a m4 file, run
autogen.pl and configure,
then, the first invokation of make will run $(AUTOHEADER)
is this a bug (and if yes, is it OMPI related) ?
or is this just a minor annoyance that impacts only developers anyway ?
Cheers,
Gilles
