Problem finding TPO dependency file

2006-09-28 Thread John Ling
Hello, Using automake 1.9.1 and higher, I get the following error below. I do not get this error if I switch to automake 1.8.5. So what is the change between 1.8.5 and 1.9.1 that causes it to be unable to generate this TPO file? What do I have to do to resolve this problem?

Hi, Is there an easy, official way to add a post-processing step to a Makefile.am? Specifically, after the primary build target is linked via autotool magic, how can I specify an extra 'objcopy' command to be executed on the linked binary? My best guess on this would be hijacking the 'all'
