Tom:
The latest CVS Automake works fine for --enable-dependency-tracking,
but when --disable-dependency-tracking is specified it's still choking.
The problem is that the lines required for depcomp when dependency
tracking is used are not valid. When the package is configured,
the Automake conditionals aren't evaluated, they are evaluated
when Automake is run on the package. Here's a snippet:
#include $(DEPDIR)/Units_UnitsDictionary.Plo
#include $(DEPDIR)/Units_UnitsLexicon.Plo
#include $(DEPDIR)/Units_UnitsSequence_0.Plo
#include $(DEPDIR)/Units_UnitsSystem.Plo
#include $(DEPDIR)/Units_UtsSequence_0.Plo
distclean-depend:
-rm -rf $(DEPDIR)
CXXDEPMODE = depmode=none
.cxx.o:
source='$<' object='$@' libtool=no
depfile='$(DEPDIR)/$*.Po' tmpdepfile='$(DEPDIR)/$*.TPo'
$(CXXDEPMODE) $(depcomp)
$(CXXCOMPILE) -c -o $@ `test -f $< || echo '$(srcdir)/'`$<
So the file depend2.am still needs to have @AMDEP_TRUE@ before
the tab on the first three lines of the rule. Alternatively
@AMDEPBACKSLASH@ could be set to "\", but that would lengthen
compile times by running 'depcomp mode=none' on every source file.
I like the trick you used to get @AMDEP_TRUE@ to stay in
automake after configuring, I'll have to remember that. :)
Thanks,
Robert
