Thanks for this proposal; this is effectively what I did by hand now (and it's why I missed 'error' and 'obstack' - thanks Eric for the correction). The rule "take all AC_LIBOBJ and AC_REPLACE_FUNCS arguments and append .c" would work. automake does it like this. But we can get the list of files in a simpler way. The complete list of files is already in the module description. The rule "take all lib/* entries from the 'Files' section, minus the lib_SOURCES from the 'Makefile.am' section" is simpler. I'll implement that in gnulib-tool tomorrow. > It passed "make distcheck" with only one additional kludge. > The above mistakenly added lib/tmpfile-safer.c to the list, > even though coreutils doesn't use the file. > It was pulled in due to this unused macro in stdio-safer.m4: > > AC_DEFUN([gl_TMPFILE_SAFER], > [ > AC_LIBOBJ([tmpfile-safer]) > ]) Well, the 'tmpfile-safer' module uses this macro. > I would hate to institutionalize a process that requires us to > maintain all of these names in two places -- even temporarily.
