Do you mean the ChangeLog error? No, that's not part of bug 797407.
That seems to be a Makefile problem; ninja builds the dist target without
complaint. Interestingly on MacOS
I get a different failure when using make:
Scanning dependencies of target dist-bindings-python-gnucash-core-c-py
[ 0%] Generating gnucash_core.c, gnucash_core_c.py
[ 0%] Built target dist-bindings-python-gnucash-core-c-py
Scanning dependencies of target dist-doc-gnucash-1
make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'libgnucash/core-utils/gnc-vcs-info.h',
needed by 'doc/gnucash.1'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1491:
doc/CMakeFiles/dist-doc-gnucash-1.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:290: CMakeFiles/dist.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:236: dist] Error 2
I can get make dist to work if I first say `make gnc-vcs-info`. That builds
libgnucash/core-utils/gnc-vcs-info.h and with that, make dist is happy. There
must be some dependency missing in the dist target.
Try saying `make ChangeLog` in a freshly configured build-dir, maybe that will
build the ChangeLog and then make dist will work for you.
Ninja didn't complain about either, it just cheerfully built everything.
*Another* reason to prefer it over make.
