Hello,
I included a file in my Makefile.am, but then I decided it was not
useful anymore so I removed the include statement and deleted the file.
That resulted in a broken Makefile, and running `make all' resulted in:
make: *** No rule to make target `aminclude.am', needed by
`Makefile.in'. Stop.
This is very similar to the "deleted header file problem" for *.m4 files
that was fixed in version 1.11 by adding a stub rule. I suppose this
problem could be solved in the same fashion.
Attached please find a test illustrating the problem.
Thanks,
Peter
