Hi,
here's a problem I just cannot figure out on my own -- distcheck always fails on data using the following test files: ---<8--- Makefile.am AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign subdir-objects noinst_DATA = foo.txt --->8--- ---<8--- configure.ac AC_INIT([foo], [0]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wall]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT --->8--- ---<8--- foo.txt asd --->8--- Trigger: autoreconf -fi ./configure make make distcheck Output seen: [lots of distcheck output] config.status: creating Makefile make[1]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/t/obj/foo-0/_build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `foo.txt', needed by `all-am'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/t/obj/foo-0/_build' make: *** [distcheck] Error 2
