Hello, Adam Mercer's email entitled "rebuilding following a change in prefix?" reminded me of this problem I have with an autotools-managed project (automake 1.9, make 3.8, autoconf 2.59).
This project tree is arranged like this: project/configure.ac project/Makefile.am project/mainprog.cpp project/project/Makefile.am project/project/libcodefiles.cpp The Makefile.ams are written so that this builds a binary and a library: mainprog and libproject(.a, .so) If the project is configured with default options, then a change to code in libcodefiles.cpp will lead to a re-compilation of libcodefiles.cpp and mainprog.cpp. However, if I reconfigure like this: ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared Then make clean && make will generate a mainprog with libproject statically linked into the executable. So far so good. However, if I change libcodefiles.cpp and re-call make, libproject is recompiled, but the executable mainprog is not re-linked. Is this expected behaviour, or have I likely got something wrong in the Makefile.am? best regards, Seb James
