Package: automake
Version: 1:1.10+nogfdl-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
Thanks for packaging automake.
In some of my Makefile.am I have entries like this:
tut_test_SOURCES = \
tests/aliases.cc \
tests/error.cc \
tests/fast.cc \
tests/file.cc \
tests/rawmsg.cc \
tests/record.cc \
tests/var.cc \
tests/vartable.cc \
$(top_srcdir)/extra/test-utils-core.cc \
$(top_srcdir)/extra/tut-main.cc
if I just run ./configure, then running config.status creates
directories like these:
dballe/bench/$(top_srcdir)
dballe/bufrex/$(top_srcdir)
dballe/core/$(top_srcdir)
dballe/db/$(top_srcdir)
dballe/msg/$(top_srcdir)
fortran/$(top_srcdir)
tools/$(top_srcdir)
I traced this to this piece of code in the generated config.status:
for file in `sed -n "
s/^$am__include $am__quote\(.*(DEPDIR).*\)$am__quote"'$/\1/p' <"$mf" | \
sed -e 's/\$(DEPDIR)/'"$DEPDIR"'/g' -e 's/\$U/'"$U"'/g'`; do
# Make sure the directory exists.
[...]
The possible values of files are obtained by grepping include lines from
generated 'Makefile's. Here's a sample of what I have:
include $(top_srcdir)/extra/$(DEPDIR)/test-utils-core.Po
include $(top_srcdir)/extra/$(DEPDIR)/tut-main.Po
include ./$(DEPDIR)/aliases.Plo
include ./$(DEPDIR)/conv.Plo
include ./$(DEPDIR)/csv.Plo
include ./$(DEPDIR)/error.Plo
include ./$(DEPDIR)/file.Plo
Therefore, config.status picks up that '$(top_srcdir)/extra/' prefix and
ensures that it exists, without expanding $(top_srcdir).
I'll now rewrite my Makefile.am files differently, however this looks
like an automake (or autoconf?) bug, so I'm reporting it.
Ciao,
Enrico
