Oops, one of the "amhello" tests has an unecessary requirement (copy &
paste blunder).  Consider the following squashed in:

  diff --git a/tests/amhello-binpkg.test b/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  index 8da3495..47add73 100755
  --- a/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  +++ b/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  @@ -17,7 +17,6 @@
   # Document an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:
   # using DESDIR to build simple, no-frills binary packages.
   
  -required=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
   . ./defs || Exit 1
   
   set -e

Hi Stefano,

could this be a typo (DESDIR vs DESTDIR)?

Yes it is; fixed now.  Thanks for spotting it!

And since we are out to hunt typos, all the new amhello tests have the
same error in the heading descriptions, using: 
  "Document an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:"
where this should be used instead:
  "Test an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:"
Consider these fixed too.

Thanks,
  Stefano

bug#8076: PCH support / howto

2011-07-01 Thread Olaf van der Spek 
I think I found a way, at last:
BUILT_SOURCES = config.h.gch

config.h.gch: config.h
${CXXCOMPILE} -o $@ $<
