I think depend2.am is ok. In fact there is a comment at the top
explaining why it is, and I think that comment is correct. That is,
the code is supposed to work the way the comment says:
## Note it is on purpose we wrote `if %AMDEP%', since:
##
## - if deps are turned off, %AMDEP% is mapped onto FALSE, and therefore
## the `if FALSE' chunk is removed (automake-time conditionals).
##
## - if deps are on, %AMDEP% is mapped onto AMDEP, and therefore
## the `if FALSE' chunk is prefix with @AMDEP_TRUE@ just like for any
## other configure-time conditional.
This means that the bug must be somewhere else.
I wrote a test, depend2.test, which tests for this problem. I checked
it in. It works for me.
My theory is that when you ran your test you were still using a
version of automake where @AMDEP_TRUE@ was substituted to `' at
configure time. That would explain the problem you are seeing.
However, if you can modify depend2.test so that it shows this bug,
send me the patch for it and I will investigate the problem again.
