Using autoconf/automake setup from Autotools book, I get this from making distclean target. Bulk of these files are from $(AUX_DIST) and $(AUX_DIST_EXTRA).
ERROR: files left after distclean: ./config/config.guess ./config/config.sub ./config/install-sh ./config/ltmain.sh ./config/mdate-sh ./config/missing ./config/mkinstalldirs ./config/readline.m4 ./config/sys_errlist.m4 ./config/sys_siglist.m4 ./doc/sic.pdf ./sic/common.h ./sic/stamp-common ./stamp-h.in What do I change the Makefile.am such that at least the files from the two make variables above no longer appear after running make distcheck? There may be other minor steps to get it running but I think it went something like: $ mkdir autobook $ cd autobook $ curl -O http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/large-1.1.tar.gz $ tar zxvf large-1.1.tar.gz $ cd large-1.1 $ mkdir config $ touch stamp-h.in $ vi Makefile.am I modified the 'dist-hook' target in the main Makefile.am as follows: - (cd $(distdir) && mkdir $(ac_aux_dir)) + (cd $(distdir) && if test ! -d $(ac_aux_dir); then mkdir $(ac_aux_dir); fi ) $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure --disable-shared $ make distcheck _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
