Hello,
I'm cross-compiling ntpd 4.2.8p1 to MIPS. However some times (quite
often) I'm having trouble with the timestamps of the source files
(automake-related files) so that the rules in the generated Makefile
triggers rebuild of some automake stuff, in my case aclocal.m4.
The regeneration is very unpleasant since my computer uses a newer
version of autotools (1.11.6) compared to the one that was uses to build
the 4.2.8p1 tarball (1.11.1). The auto-files generated on my computer
does not work at all, failing on missing ar-lib (why whould I need
ar-lib on Linux? Seems to be a wrapper for some Windows lib.exe).
So what I would love to have is AM_MAINTAINER_MODE added to ntpd so that
I can give the flag --disable-maintainer-mode and get a Makefile that
does not try to rebuild the build system.
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/maintainer_002dmode.html
Can you please add this, it would simply the life of non-maintainers a
lot! :-)
Note:
Looking at Makefile's aclocal.m4 target ($(ACLOCAL_M4):*), it seems to
depend on sntp m4 files. I don't even want sntp so I give configure the
flag --without-sntp, but the make rule for aclocal.m4 is still triggered.
