FAILURE: make distcheck
xml2ag/Makefile no longer exists. Removing it is not in any of my clean rules.
How do I figure out the cause? I can send the build log, but it is kind-of
verbose
(4,100 lines). Just for additional info, if I do a "make uninstall" from
my build directory (not using "make distcheck"), then it all works as expected.
It is just the uninstall within the distcheck. (The "Makefile.in" files all
match
between the build directory and the distcheck untar tree and the Makefile.in
is present in the xml2ag directory and xml2ag is in the subdir list.)
