This one slipped by on the first post.  First of all, I suggested this so
that as few delimiters as possible needed to be used - now only %% is
taken by Automake, instead of both %%, ?? and possibly others.  This is
therefore a good move.  However, as I actually suggested it, I would like
the ? to be placed after the keyword, so the keyword looks like e.g. a
scheme predicate.  The ! is of course the NOT operator and is by convention
placed before the predicate.

Just my two cents.

make dist

2001-03-21 Thread Lars J. Aas 

I've started cleaning up my projects so that "make dist" will work for
them.  To make it work, though, there are some files I have to put
in EXTRA_DIST to get included, which should have been added automatically,
for instance depcomp, and ltconfig.  The *_SCRIPTS and *_DATA files seems
to be ignored too.  CVS Automake as usual.

These are bugs.

Lars The *_SCRIPTS and *_DATA files seems to be ignored too.

These are intentional.  Not all primaries are distributed by default.

You can use `dist_*_SCRIPT' and `dist_*_DATA' to change this.

  What remains in order to enable `use strict'?

    $require_file_found{'depcomp'} = 1 if -f "$depcomp_dir/depcomp";

 it is because of this guy.  It should not be used directly here, but
 to fix this properly, I have to understand how to use the regular
 mechanisms (i.e., study what you said about the special case of
 depcomp not being like missing and the like).

 We could use use strict right now *if* we declare %require_file_found
 is global.  But I didn't because it's a lie, it's not where we are
 going to.

I sent a patch a while ago, ostensibly to fix the depcomp support, but which
cleans up a bunch of the require_file stuff, including removing this line.  And
oh, was it a mess before I went at it.

You should have the rest of the asssignments necessary to use it shortly.  I
mailed them Monday evening.  I can even resubmit a new version which resolves the
current conflicts, I believe, as long as I do it on my own time.  I'm not sure how
long it'll be before I can do automake work on my day job again.  :)
