fast install released already?

2008-10-21 Thread Duft Markus
Hi there! I just wanted to ask wether the fast install bits are available already in a released automake version? Is there a single big patch for a current version? I'd really like to start using this feature, since installing out software takes hours :) we have approximately 10.000 files to

[snip] Also thinking this a little further: especially when I'm working at home on some free software, I have sometimes only half an hour or something like that to spend on developing; I *don't* want to spend this time maintaining the build mechanism!! Really: I don't want to do this.

AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS problem

2008-12-19 Thread Duft Markus
Hi! I found a problem with AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS. I disabled dependency tracking through the configure command line option, and with recent automake (1.10.2) I kept getting errors like this: config.status: creating base/Makefile config.status: creating tools/Makefile config.status:
