Hi Jürg,
I'm following up on this patch with this one, to document the temporary
requirement for GNU make and avoid test failure reports that we already
know of.
Cheers,
Ralf
Vala: for now, require GNU make.
* doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
required for Vala sources.
* tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
GNU make.
