FWIW, it has been deprecated since at least Automake 1.8 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2007-03/msg00014.html It's entirely possible that we had "mkinstalldirs" listed as a required file in a Makefile.am, then when it stopped working with Automake 1.9, you added the copy operations. The right thing to have done back then would have been to remove it from Makefile.am instead. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
