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.
