When I use the macro AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, automake includes a rule in Makefile.in to rebuild config.h.in through autoheader. Now, I do not want at all that this file gets touched by autoheader, even when I modifiy one of its "presumed dependencies" aclocal.m4 and configure.ac.
I've been plagued with some implicit and unnecessary `rebuild`s in some projects - and the solution is quite simple: in your configure.ac script, reset autotools variables to a colon - i.e. AUTOHEADER=":" or perhaps better yet, rewrite it as AUTOHEADER="echo autoheader ignored" so you still see when it would have been called.
Is that a way to disable this automake behavior, or am I asking for something that is complete non-sense? Thanks in advance for your help.
have fun, guido
