well, for people entering from the make world, i think it's easy. it's a simple dependency rule. most people arent intimately familiar with automake internals, so they'd be hard pressed to look at my code and say "hey! you're overriding the rule but not defining it!". > It seems that yours depends on this observation: Automake does not > substitute the variable in target when processing the user defined rule. pretty much. it goes even further though in that the variable i'm using is generated by automake itself, so it'd be a matter of recursion for it to figure things out. thus with my patch, automake will continue to take care of spitting out the default rules and make will parse it as a simple dependency. > Is this a documented feature? i'm not sure if it's a feature, bug, or no one noticed/cared. i'll post a query to the automake list. -mike
