GNU make used to use the automake --generate-deps option, which is now missing :(.
The thing is, GNU make runs on a number of systems where it's not possible to run the configure script, etc. For the use of these systems, GNU make ships various pre-built makefiles, which are constructed from templates at distribution creation time. I used to use --generate-deps to create a file containing all the _internal_ dependency data (no system dependencies, just dependencies within the make package), then one of the customizations made for the other makefiles was to append this dependency information to the bottom so that at least they had more-or-less accurate internal dependency data. How can I do this now? My only idea so far is to process all the .Po files to extract only the local files; essentially what --generate-deps used to do, except do it myself... anyone have a better idea? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
