Hi All,
So I see that the executable kbdgentables(.exe) is
installed in /bin.
What is this used for? Is it used only for the examples?
Why is it installed?
If that is all it is used for and not needed if the examples are
installed, then it should be marked "noinst". This patch does
that and I can apply it if you want.
From looking at the automake Makefile it seems that kbdgentables is used (with
a couple of .dat data files) to generate a header file, which is dependency of
keyboard.cpp, which in turn is part of the libsim library. So to my eyes it
should not installed.
However, if these data files (keynumber_to_scancode.dat and
xcode_to_keynumber.dat) never change, hence the header file never changes, then
why don't we just check in the generated header file and be done with it? Why
continue to build the generator program kbdgentables.exe?
I had similarly wondered about the output of swig. Does it ever
change?
These look like things that there should be a "--enable-maintainer-mode"
added and the results checked in and not generated as part of a "normal"
build.
