No, that's not reasonable ;-). make dist should work in any case because it packages source files and source files can always be there. Admitedly there are also generated files that are shipped, because the maintainer is supposed to have the possibility to generate them, but in that case all the files leading to that particular generated file should be shipped such that they are not even rebuilt if the user didn't changed them, and they should only be removed by make maintainer-clean. > But the missing files have pointed to a bug.

You also have to have the ming library installed. -- Pat _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
