Re: [AM-1.4] make distclean tries to build objects

[Stepan Kasal]

Hello,

 What can one say about this? I don't get it.

I'm afraid your mail does not contain enough information for any
reasonable answer.
Can the project be downloaded somewhere?
Could you post gui/Makefile.am?
Which version of Automake was used?

From automake.info(Recursing subdirectories);

  By default, Automake generates `Makefiles' which work depth-first
  (`postfix').  However, it is possible to change this ordering.  You can
  do this by putting `.' into `SUBDIRS'.  For instance, putting `.'
  first will cause a `prefix' ordering of directories.  All `clean'
  targets are run in reverse order of build targets.

I don't recall whether ancient automake supports the `.' option in SUBDIRS.
Probably not.  You are fighting against all the bugs and misfeatures that
have been fixed over the last five years of automake development if you
insist on staying with automake-1.4 (I branched for the 1.4px series in
early 2001).

HTH,
Gary.

Not only that -- the problems i had were actually caused by my
involuntarily using a mixture of 1.4 and 1.9. The reason I started in 1.4
in the first place was that this is a project using Glade-2 (a gtk
GUI builder) which generates automake-1.4 files. My migration to 1.9
seems to have only worked half way throgh. I've now written everything
from scratch for 1.9 and all works fine.

Thanks, I installed that.
