I wound up fixing this in my case by adding foo.dvi (equivalent) to CLEANFILES in Makefile.am. Perhaps automake can change the generated rules for `make clean' as an interim fix? There'd have to be some checking that texi2dvi won't clobber files in the working directory. Alternative: Is it feasible (i.e., portable and otherwise safe) to change the generated rules for .dvi files. Perhaps phrase this as: doc/foo.dvi: doc/foo.texi cd doc && texi2dvi -o foo.dvi foo.texi instead of doc/foo.dvi: doc/foo.texi texi2dvi -o $@ $< (I'm simplifying here, but hopefully the idea is clear.)
