Quoting Chris Shoemaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry 'bout that. I was rushing to commit before bedtime. Let me see
if I understand the principles:
1) Any time the build depends on any BUILT_SOURCES, it's also
necessary to ensure that those sources are built before they're
used, typically by arrangement of SUBDIRS.
Yes. A correllary is that any time the build depends on a .la file
it's also necessary to ensure that that .la file is built before
they're used.
2) ${top_srcdir} is for any non-built source file, while
${top_builddir} is for anything built, e.g. source or library.
Yes. in this case gnc-version.h depends on gnc-svninfo.h, and the
latter could be in either srcdir OR builddir depending on whether
it's an SVN build or a tarball build.
3) ??? I don't understand the moving of #include "config.h". It it
just style?
No. config.h defines the configure state which is used in lots of
the other .h files. You /ALWAYS/ have to #include config.h first
in order to make sure you have the proper definitions set before you
include anything else.
The fact that it /may/ work later is just lucky happenstance. For
me, I was dying in libintl.h (included from i18n.h) but moving config.h
to the top fixed it.. Most likely because the HAVE_GETTEXT defines
were wrong when i18n.h was included (because config.h hadn't been).
