Hello list, I am writing a nonrecursive Makefile.am, and cannot find the recommended way of requiring that directories in the source tree have had their equivalents created in the build tree. This has led me to write rules like this:
8<--- doc/fake437-primitive.texi: doc/$(am__dirstamp) include/fake437/primitive.h; $(EXTRACT_TEXI) --->8 but I feel that using anything starting with $(am__) is asking for trouble by relying on internal details. There's no mention of "dirstamp" in the info file and Googling didn't yield anything useful either. Does anyone have suggestions of where to look or better approaches? -- Jack
