It seems that automake's _DEPENDENCIES variable doesn't quite establish a dependency in the full sense of the word, the way one might expect from experience with make or gmake.
Say I'm building a program (foo.exe) that depends on a library (somelib.so) that's built in another directory. I've built somelib and foo. Now I touch somelibsrc.c, which somelib depends on. If I'm in foo's directory and I type "make", it tells me there's nothing to be done. Is there any way I can tell Makefile.am that, in such a case, I don't consider foo to be current, i.e. that I'd like somelib.so to be rebuilt (even though I'm typing "make" from foo's directory)? _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
