Ignore this one – figured it out.
I had assumed that the gentoo eclass function for downloading the sources ran
the autogen.sh script, but no... a misunderstanding of the process on my
account!
Running ./autogen.sh as per the gnucash build instructions on the web fixed the
problem.
Cheers,

Subject: Make fail - No rule to make target COPYING
G’day all,
I’m a bit of a noob, so please bear with me. I’m trying to compile gnucash
directly from the git sources. Since I work on Gentoo, I’ve been having all
sorts of fun with overlays and ebuilds... but that’s another story.
When it begins the compile phase, I get an error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target ‘COPYING', needed by ‘all-am’. Stop
Looking through the make file generated by automake and configure, I’m guessing
that this error relates to the following command:
dist_doc_DATA = \
AUTHORS \
COPYING \
ChangeLog \
...
The variable “dist_doc_DATA” has a number of values in it, and as far as i can
see “COPYING” is the only one that isn’t a file present. I also can’t find this
as a file anywhere within the git sources.
Where should I go from here? Does this sound like a Gnucash bug I should raise,
or is it likely I am missing something simple?
Thanks and regards,
Matt Graham /|\
P.s. If it helps, my ebuild is on my public gentoo repository, cloneable from
https://github.com/mattig7/MattsPackages.git
I’m using version 2.6.8 – ignore the other ones, haven’t fixed lots of issues
with them yet. Just realised that I should have changed to 2.6.9 that can
be next I guess!
