I need a clue, please? Thank you. Dummy initial assignments is a valid fix if you want/need to dispatch your source definitions in multiple files without having to care about the inclusion order. Alternatively you can define all your sources in one go in one file like this: do_not_make_me_la_SOURCES = \ sockets.h \ sockets.c \ stat-time.c \ sys_socket.c \ timespec.c \ unistd.c >> autoopts/Makefile.am:97: error: do_not_make_me_la_LIBADD must be set >> with '=' before using '+=' >> autoopts/Makefile.am:98: error: do_not_make_me_la_DEPENDENCIES must >> be set with '=' before using '+=' >> autoopts/Makefile.am:100: error: EXTRA_do_not_make_me_la_SOURCES >> must be set with '=' before using '+=' >> autoopts/Makefile.am:146: error: do_not_make_me_la_SOURCES must be >> set with '=' before using '+=' >> autoopts/Makefile.am:390: error: MOSTLYCLEANDIRS must be set with >> '=' before using '+=' >> autoopts/Makefile.am:100: warning: variable >> 'EXTRA_do_not_make_me_la_SOURCES' is defined but no program or >> autoopts/Makefile.am:100: library has 'do_not_make_me_la' as >> canonical name (possible typo) >> autoopts/Makefile.am:146: warning: variable >> 'do_not_make_me_la_SOURCES' is defined but no program or >> autoopts/Makefile.am:146: library has 'do_not_make_me_la' as >> canonical name (possible typo) >> autoopts/Makefile.am:97: warning: variable >> 'do_not_make_me_la_LIBADD' is defined but no program or >> autoopts/Makefile.am:97: library has 'do_not_make_me_la' as >> canonical name (possible typo) >> autoopts/Makefile.am:98: warning: variable >> 'do_not_make_me_la_DEPENDENCIES' is defined but no program or >> autoopts/Makefile.am:98: library has 'do_not_make_me_la' as >> canonical name (possible typo) -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37

Trying to bootstrap my project, distcheck doesn't configure
So in the years since I last rebuilt my project, it seems the world has changed. I spent two days pounding on configury stuff just to get it to the point where bootstrapping once again succeeds and the project built and ran "make check". With more fiddling, I got it to roll up a distribution, but the "make distcheck" tries to make dependencies before having done the configure step. It doesn't work. So my question: Why would the distcheck rules fail to do configure as soon as the tarball is unrolled? What should I be looking for? Thank you! Regards, Bruce
