Hi all, I am using software that specifies a nodist_EXTRA_*_SOURCES dummy source file in its top-level Makefile.am, as recommended by the Automake manual to get the C++ linker to combine several libtool convenience libraries for subdirectories:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Libtool-Convenience-Libraries.html https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/14c6e387239a679ac5b58f126ab96e851a5e6624/Makefile.am#L137 However, this also causes the `tags`, `ctags` and `cscope` targets to fail: --->8--- Making tags in . make[1]: Entering directory 'tesseract/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'dummy.cxx', needed by 'tags-am'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory 'tesseract/build' Makefile:4392: recipe for target 'tags-recursive' failed ---8<--- Does anyone know how to repair this (i.e. get both the desired linking _and_ recursive tag generation rules)? Regards, Robert
