Pierre, I believe you are correct.
I reviewed the documentation for automake and friends. ACLOCAL_FLAGS is *not* honored by aclocal. ACLOCAL_FLAGS is honored by gnome-autogen.sh, intltool, glade autogen.sh, and some of the other GNOME autogen.sh scripts. [from the automake doc] `ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' contains options to pass to `aclocal' when `aclocal.m4' is to be rebuilt by `make'. This line is also used by `autoreconf' (*note Using `autoreconf' to Update `configure' Scripts: (autoconf)autoreconf Invocation.) to run `aclocal' with suitable options, or by `autopoint' (*note Invoking the `autopoint' Program: (gettext)autopoint Invocation.) and `gettextize' (*note Invoking the `gettextize' Program: (gettext)gettextize Invocation.) to locate the place where Gettext's macros should be installed. So even if you do not really care about the rebuild rules, you should define `ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS'. -Joseph ============================================================================ On Mon, 2006-02-20 at 14:49 +0100, Pierre Tardy wrote: > Hello. > I run at work an old redhat enterprise, with some special tricks from > administrators which makes it a quite difficult environment for garnome.. > > for libxslt-1.1.15 to be happy, and find the aclocal of garnome, I had to add > the line: > ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS += -I $(datadir)/aclocal > > just after the standard: > # allow us to find possibly installed autofoo > ACLOCAL_FLAGS += -I $(datadir)/aclocal > > Maybe it was a bug that never shown up before because garnome is compiled in > nicer environment.. > > > -- > Pierre -- joseph_sacco [at] comcast [dot] net -- garnome-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list
