Hi, Makefile.am contains the following lines.
SUFFIXES = .text # Convert a text file into an object file usable by ld (doesn't # really use touch. .text.o: touch $< bin_PROGRAMS = program program_SOURCES = program.c example.text Automake 1.5a reports the following error message: Can't call method "target_hook" on an undefined value at /usr/local/bin/automake line 1896. I get a similar message from Automake 1.4j, but not from 1.4d. (I ran into other problems trying to get 1.4f to work and didn't pursue it.) If I change ".o" to, say ".c", automake 1.5a doesn't complain anymore. Is the problem with automake, or do I need additional makefile rules (such as .text->.c->.o)? Thanks, Brian
