Hello,
I am using (or more specific: trying to learn how to use ;-) ) autoconf
2.53 and automake 1.6.1 (and tested automake 1.6).
I have a problem with the creation of the automatic dependency files
(.deps/*.Po) in conjunction with the automake option subdir-objects.
The important parts of Makefile.am:
====================================
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign subdir-objects
gflibdir = $(top_srcdir)/libs
gflibutilitydir = $(gflibdir)/utility
libgfutility_a_SOURCES = $(gflibutilitydir)/globals.cpp \
$(gflibutilitydir)/globals.h
====================================
The execution of autoconf - automake - configure creates the dependency
file in $(gflibutilitydir)\.deps\libgfutility_a-globals.Po in the top
source directory. I.e. $(gflibutilitydir) is not evaluated to
libs/utility but created literally: \$\(gflibutilitydir\).
Naturally make complains with:
Makefile:299: libs/utility/.deps/libgfutility_a-globals.Po: No such file
or directory
So, is this a bug?
Why is $(gflibutilitydir) not evaluated, how can I fix my problem?
The complete source can be downloaded at
www.uni-koblenz.de/~alexf/automake-subdir-objects.tgz
make will not be successful without an installed stlport, but this is
not necessary to show my problem.
Thanks,
Alex
