Hi Automake maintainers,
I think there's a bug in the distcheck target related to the TEXINFO
primary. (You may already know about it. I did a google search, but
didn't find any references to it.)
Here's part of a sample Makefile.am from page 24 of the the Automake
manual (1.10.2):
bin_PROGRAMS = zardoz
zardoz_SOURCES = main.c
info_TEXINFOS = zardoz.texi
Combined with a simple configure.ac file, when I run "make distcheck", I
get the following error:
...
ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean:
./zardoz.dvi
make[1]: *** [distcleancheck] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/jcalcote/dev/prj/ti-test/zardoz-1.0/_build'
make: *** [distcheck] Error 2
$
I have to add this line to the Makefile.am file to get the distcheck
target to work cleanly:
CLEANFILES = zardoz.dvi
It appears that make clean is leaving the dvi file in place. In fact,
when I manually execute make clean, after make dvi, I get the following
output:
test -z "zardoz" || rm -f zardoz
rm -rf zardoz.aux zardoz.cp zardoz.cps zardoz.fn zardoz.fns zardoz.ky \
zardoz.kys zardoz.log zardoz.pg zardoz.pgs zardoz.tmp \
zardoz.toc zardoz.tp zardoz.tps zardoz.vr zardoz.vrs \
sample.dvi sample.pdf sample.ps sample.html
rm -f *.o
It looks like the last line should contain:
zardoz.dvi zardoz.pdf zardoz.ps zardoz.html
Regards,
John
