Hello Bruno, all,
I noticed that the localcharset module defines a couple of automake
hook rules including commands to update the hooks. While not a bug,
it creates a limitation in that this strategy is not extensible: two
sets of commands for one rule produce an error from 'make'. This can
be avoided by creating module-private targets for the actual rule with
commands, marking them phony, and letting them be prerequisites of the
automake hooks. (This is analogous to using += for variables.)
If you need a blurb about this in some gnulib documentation then please
show me where it would be appropriate; thanks.
OK to push?
Cheers,
Ralf
Use automake *-local hooks as prerequisites only
* modules/localcharset (Makefile.am): Rename install-exec-local
rule to install-exec-charset, mark it phony, and make it a
prerequisite of install-exec-local. Likewise, rename the
uninstall-local rule to uninstall-charset, mark phony, and make
it a prerequisite of the former.
