Hi Fabrizio,
$ tar xfz autotool-bug-abs.tar.gz
$ cd autotool-bug/proj
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure --with-mylib=../lib
$ make
Thanks for the careful recipe. Unfortunately, it still works for me.
readlink -f does return the full path, and I see the full path embedded
in the Makefiles in various places, but not the crucial line:
Makefile:353:/home/fabrizio/temp/autotool-bug/lib/.deps/testApp-mylib_log.Po:
No such
Line 353 of my src/Makefile is simply
DEPDIR = .deps
which, I guess, explains why it is not failing for me. But I find myself
unable to guess why you are getting a full path there. Looking at the
way $(DEPDIR) is used, it seems expected that it is simply .deps (minus
the leading . on Windows I guess).
I wonder ... are you using an original automake 1.16.x from ftp.gnu.org?
Or are you maybe using a distro version of automake? That could explain
the different behavior (i.e., the distro people introduced some subtle
problem). Otherwise, I'm at a loss.
Just try to run those commands and unless is something simple to
address, please close the ticket and let's move on.
It doesn't look simple, so closing as instructed :).
All the best,
Karl
