I had no idea that it should be so hard and time consuming to get make distcheck to work more or less correct in all cases...
I seem to be close now... Please help be test and check if I have reach my goal now... distcheck shold work from: - srcdir == builddir - srcdir != builddir - run "make dist" and do the different "make distcheck"s on the resulting .tar.gz. - checkout lyx-1_2_0_preX from cvs and do the different "make distcheck"'s there. - checkout lyx-1_2_0_preX from cvs and do "make dist" and do the different "make distcheck"s on the resulting .tar.gz. and any other cases I cannot imagine right now... -- Lgb
