Add explicit dependencies on it.  There's no other way to ensure it's
generated.  BUILT_SOURCES used to work only with GNU make.

Not all distributions of TeX include the latest texinfo.tex.  Or, at
least, there was a time when this was the case.  Besides, as you say,
texinfo.tex is part of the texinfo package, which is separate from TeX
distributions, so just assuming TeX would be able to find may not work
for a significant number of users.

I'm afraid not.  Any suggestions about how automake could find out
where texinfo.tex from the texinfo package is installed, assuming it
is?

More fun with BUILT_SOURCES

[Braden McDaniel]

I have an automake script of the following form:

PUBLIC_HFILES = file1.h file2.h
PRIVATE_HFILES = file3.h file4.h
BUILT_SOURCES = file1.h

file1.h: deps
generate file1.h from deps

if INSTALL_PUBLIC_HFILES
include_HEADERS = $(PUBLIC_HFILES)
noinst_HEADERS = $(PRIVATE_HFILES)
else
noinst_HEADERS = $(PUBLIC_HFILES) $(PRIVATE_HFILES)
endif

The problem is that the generated header file (file1.h) never gets
generated. If file1.h occurs directly in one of the *_HEADERS variables,
there is no problem.

I realize that BUILT_SOURCES is known to be problematic, but I haven't
found any other solution. Any suggestions?

Okay, I found the no-texinfo.tex option to disable this behavior, but is there any
reason this is ever desirable?

170. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

texinfo.tex

[Derek R. Price]

Why does AM require that texinfo.tex be included in the distribution in
the first place?  It is installed with tex distributions by default
anyhow, isn't it?  Its presence screws up my PDF target, which needs to
find the texinfo.tex in /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/texinfo/texinfo.tex but
will accept the one in the local directory first.

Okay, is there some way short of symlinking the
/usr/share/automake/texinfo.tex file by hand to make sure that automake
--add-missing uses the "proper" texinfo.tex file (i.e. the one installed
with the texinfo package and assumedly the most recent one)?

Default clean files

[Derek R. Price]

I'm in the middle of an attempt to convert CVS to use automake but I'm
having some trouble.  Is there some way to selectively override clean
targets created by default for info targets without having to specify
the entire clean target manually?

I specified

info_TEXINFOS = cvs.texinfo cvsclient.texi

and it seems to be creating a clean target that removes the 'cvs.ps'
file despite the fact that 'cvs.ps' is listed in EXTRA_DIST.
