automake's 1.9 NEWS entry includes:
- Variables aumented with `+=' are now automatically flattened (i.e.,
trailing backslashes removed) and then wrapped around 80 colummns
(adding trailing backslashes). In previous versions, a long series
of
VAR += value1
VAR += value2
VAR += value3
...
would result in a single-line definition of VAR that could possibly
exceed the maximum line length of some make implementations.
Non-augmented variables are still output as they are defined in
the Makefile.am.
flattening non-augmented variable assignments seems like a better
solution to the problem of too long lines.
In the mean time, maybe
foo_SOURCES =
foo_SOURCES += [ long list of sources ]
might just work.
