I've got an "old style" build tree and I'm trying to convert it to use subdir-oobjects.
I've got a good number of subdirs in this project, and some of these subdirs contain source files but no Makefile.am (or derivatitives). The problem I'm seeing (with at least automake-1.12.1 and automake-1.15) is that the .deps directories are not being created along the subdir path, so the build is failing. So if A/Makefile.am contains: foo_SRCS = ... $(srcdir)/../foo/bar.c I eventually see: Makefile:XXX: ../../mydir/../foo/.deps/bar.Po: No such file or dierctory I get this behavior with both FreeBSD's make and with gmake. I am using VPATH. What am I missing? If the answer is "Wait until autoconf-2.70 and automake-2.0" that's an OK answer. I'm just trying to prepare for this a bit earlier. -- Harlan Stenn <st...@ntp.org> http://networktimefoundation.org - be a member!
