The automake manual says: Sometimes an info file actually depends on more than one .texi file. For instance, in GNU Hello, hello.texi includes the file gpl.texi. You can tell Automake about these dependencies using the texi_TEXINFOS variable. Here is how GNU Hello does it:
info_TEXINFOS = hello.texi hello_TEXINFOS = gpl.texi But unfortunately it doesn't appear to work as described, at least not in the general case. I have in my automake file: doc_pspp_TEXINFOS = \ doc/intro.texi \ [.. lots of rows deleted ..] doc/license.texi \ doc/not-implemented.texi \ [.. lots of rows deleted ..] doc/tutorial.texi \ [.. lots of rows deleted ..] doc_not_implemented_TEXINFOS = doc/ni.texi doc_tutorial_TEXINFOS = doc/tut.texi and in doc/not-implemented.texi there is the line @include doc/ni.texi Similarly in doc/tutorial.texi there is @include doc/tut.texi But the dependencies aren't generated. Consequently, the build fails with : ./doc//tutorial.texi:3: @include `doc/tut.texi': No such file or directory. I have to manually run "make doc/tut.texi doc/ni.texi" Am I using automake wrong or is automake behaving wrong?
