Your exact problem as demonstrated by your transcript is not reproducible on my machine. However, `make dist' fails for me, too when called right after a `make clean'. OTOH, `make dist' always succeeds after a `make all' or just `make'.
It seems as if the order in which the sub-directories are built is different and wrong with the `dist' target, whereas it works correctly and in particular as advertised in the Automake documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Subdirectories when using targets like e.g. `all'. $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1 $ autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 ** Changed in: enblend Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: enblend Assignee: (unassigned) => Christoph Spiel (cspiel) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Hugin Bug Hunters, which is subscribed to Enblend. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468520 Title: make dist fails Status in Enblend: New Bug description: I'm trying to make a tarball from the default branch so I can update the fedora package but `make dist` fails: $ make dist make dist-gzip am__post_remove_distdir='@:' make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bruno/src/enblend' if test -d "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5"; then find "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5" -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -rf "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5" || { sleep 5 && rm -rf "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5"; }; else :; fi test -d "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5" || mkdir "enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5" (cd share && make top_distdir=../enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5 distdir=../enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5/share \ am__remove_distdir=: am__skip_length_check=: am__skip_mode_fix=: distdir) make[2]: Entering directory '/home/bruno/src/enblend/share' (cd enfuse && make top_distdir=../../enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5 distdir=../../enblend-enfuse-4.2-add32106f8f5/share/enfuse \ am__remove_distdir=: am__skip_length_check=: am__skip_mode_fix=: distdir) make[3]: Entering directory '/home/bruno/src/enblend/share/enfuse' make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'distdir'.
