Hi Paul,
> I installed the attached patch to Gnulib on Savannah; please give it a try.
This patch has the strange consequence that the gnulib import in GNU clisp
now installs files
tests/_Noreturn.h
tests/arg-nonnull.h
tests/c++defs.h
tests/dummy.c
tests/warn-on-use.h
although the gnulib-tool invocation did not contain --with-tests, nor any tests
module.
The underlying problem is present since the beginning: Modules with
applicability 'all' get added to $testsrelated_modules, from which the file list
for tests/ is built.
So far this had no consequences, because the files of these modules were under
build-aux/ - so the use of the same module in $libdir and $testsdir was
idempotent. But now, these modules install files such as arg-nonnull.h twice.
I'm fixing this problem like this:
2017-03-14 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>
gnulib-tool: Don't produce a tests directory with only snippet .h files.
* gnulib-tool (func_modules_transitive_closure_separately): If
testsrelated_modules ends up with no "real" modules, aside from
modules with applicability 'all', set it to empty.
