Not true. Don't you use "--enable-maintainer-mode"? If you don't, you should. It will make these generations happen exactly when you expect them, and not only when running ./autogen. By the way, running ./configure is just as fine, as long as you don't changed any directories. > > 4.

No. The other way round. Christian _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
