Hello. I am taking the liberty of pinging you about this problem, which has a one-character fix. I reported it a few weeks ago, possibly to the wrong list; I apologize.
Best regards, and thank you for your work. -------------------- Start of forwarded message -------------------- From: Luca Saiu <posit...@gnu.org> To: autom...@gnu.org Subject: Likely bug: generating tags with Emacs Lisp sources present Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2019 21:18:42 +0200
Hello.
For some reason I lost the habit of using tags some years ago, but I
would like to start again. So today I have tried to see what Automake
got me automatically in my project, Jitter, which uses "An Alternative
Approach to Subdirectories" by running
make tags
.
I received this error message:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'emacs/jitter-mode.elconfig.h.in', needed
by 'tags-am'. Stop.
which suggests that a space is missing somewhere. emacs/jitter-mode.el
is an Emacs Lisp source, handled with Automake in a very canonical way.
config.h.in is exactly what you expect.
In the generated Makefile I see:
am__tagged_files = $(HEADERS) $(SOURCES) $(TAGS_FILES) \
$(LISP)config.h.in
And in fact I can see that the value of am__tagged_files, at the very
end, has
emacs/jitter-mode.elconfig.h.in
, without a space.
I think that the problem is in bin/automake.in (checked on git master):
define_variable ('am__tagged_files',
'$(HEADERS) $(SOURCES) $(TAGS_FILES) $(LISP)'
. "@config", INTERNAL);
A space is missing after $(LISP).
I am not an Automake expert and I apologize if I am overlooking
something obvious, but this seems quite plausible to me.
Best regards, and thanks for your work.
