Hi,
I lately noticed that some parts of my autoconf/automake code do
not work any more.
Context: I am working on a project where subdirectories should
not be distributed unless they are present in the source tree at
the time of 'make dist'.
Given the following configure.ac:
---8<----
AC_PREREQ([2.54])
AC_INIT([test], [0.1], [EMAIL PROTECTED])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Makefile.am])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.7 no-define foreign dist-bzip2])
TEST_SUBDIRS=''
if test -d "$srcdir"/foo; then
TEST_SUBDIRS=foo
AC_CONFIG_FILES([foo/Makefile])
fi
AC_SUBST([TEST_SUBDIRS])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
---8<----
And the following Makefile.am:
---8<----
SUBDIRS = $(TEST_SUBDIRS)
---8<----
The command './configure && make distcheck' fails if the
subdirectory 'foo' is erased after 'autoconf' and 'automake' have
run.
It seems like 'make dist' creates an archive with an empty 'foo'
directory in it, whereas the same command with previous versions
of Autoconf/Automake (2.56/1.6) did not.
I have been told recently that the behavior I expect was possible
due to a bug in previous releases of the Autotools.
Could someone confirm (or infirm), and/or point me to some
direction to solve my current problem ?
Regards,
rp
