Hi all,

The following message posted to the gpgme-cvs mailing lists documents
their solution to the build error "@include `version.texi': No such file
or directory" that was recently reported to this list:

  http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gpa-dev/2002-May/000626.html

Following the thread back to its start shows that AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is
indeed the culprit.  The solution that is described in that message was
a reference to the requirement in their README that repository users use
the --enable-maintainer-mode option when running configure.

After some thought, I believe this is the correct solution, because
without this flag the configure script and Makefiles will not be updated
after an 'svn up' that touches some of those files.  The maintainer mode
ensures that the build system regains synchronization with the source
code through local and remote updates, and it can only prevent needless
headaches for developers.

In this regard, I recommend that the OpenOCD community update its
documentation to specific this as a requirement for using the SVN tree.
We might find a better way around this, but that seems an easy fix.
In fact, one might say they designed it that way to _remind_ developers
that they should use that option, or they just called the bug a feature.

To see it at work: enable it, then 'touch configure.in' and 'make'.

Cheers,

Zach
