Hi all, When passing _LISP files with a path, Automake produces schizophrenic Makefiles that expects the elc files to have the same path too, but produces elc files in `.'.
---- Makefile.am dist_lisp_LISP = build-aux/rebox.el build-aux/tiger.el build-aux/leopard.el ---- Makefile.in LISP = $(dist_lisp_LISP) am__ELFILES = build-aux/leopard.el build-aux/rebox.el \ build-aux/tiger.el am__ELCFILES = $(am__ELFILES:.el=.elc) ELCFILES = $(LISP:.el=.elc) ... elc-stamp: $(LISP) @echo 'WARNING: Warnings can be ignored. :-)' @rm -f elc-temp && touch elc-temp if test "$(EMACS)" != no; then \ set x; \ list='$(LISP)'; for p in $$list; do \ if test -f "$$p"; then d=; else d="$(srcdir)/"; fi; \ set x "$$@" "$$d$$p"; shift; \ done; \ shift; \ EMACS="$(EMACS)" $(SHELL) $(elisp_comp) "$$@" || exit 1; \ else : ; fi @mv -f elc-temp $@ So basically, it expects that build-aux/rebox.el be compiled into build-aux/rebox.elc (which is also what I expected, à la subdir-objects), but it compiles the files as: $(elisp_comp) $(srcdir)/build-aux/rebox.el and elisp_comp, in that case, produces ./rebox.elc. So: 1. there are compilations at each make because it can't see the elc files it expects. 2. it fails to install the compiled files 3. it fails to clean them Thanks!
