Well, it reached me at least, but to get through to the list you'd
probably have to delete generated files from it, as the size of 400K
is a bit over the limit of this list.
Anyway, I think the whole misunderstanding that John had, AFAICS, is
around this:
If you write this in sub/Makefile.am:
nobase_foobar_HEADERS = sub1/foo.h sub2/bar.h
then that means that in the source or the build tree, there exist files
sub/sub1/foo.h sub/sub2/bar.h
and upon 'make install', they will be installed in
$(foobardir)/sub1/foo.h
$(foobardir)/sub2/bar.h
Thus it is wrong to specify
nobase_include_HEADERS = \
comp1/comp1.hh \
comp1/processed.hh
in lib/comp1/Makefile.am, because that will then look for files named
lib/comp1/comp1/comp1.hh in the source or the build tree, for
installation into $(includedir).
You can easily fix that either by
- listing the files one level up (in lib/Makefile.am) and possibly not
needing a Makefile.am in the lib/comp1 directory at all, or by
- just not using nobase_, and fixing up the installation directory,
in lib/comp1/Makefile.am:
comp1includedir = $(includedir)/comp1
comp1include_HEADERS = comp1.hh processed.hh
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
