Disabling dependency tracking - how?

2002-11-10 Thread miki . shapiro
Hi all! For the protocol, I'm using am-1.7 and ac-2.54. Is there a way to avoid using the dynamically-generated list of make subrules (for every seperate object file) and simply have automake generate a static list inside Makefile.in (that will be later copied into the project's makefile)? I

Due to insufficient quoting, install-sh fails for names (source or dest) that contain spaces or some shell meta-characters. E.g., $ mkdir /tmp/x\ y $ touch a\ b $ bash install-sh 'a b' /tmp/x\ y install-sh: line 150: [: /tmp/x: binary operator expected mv: when moving multiple files,
