This seems like an automake question, not a make question. Automake has the notion of a 'maintainer mode', wherein if the configure.ac specifies AM_MAINTAINER_MODE then the rules to regenerate Makefile.in et al. are omitted from the generated Makefile. You must 'configure --enable-maintainer-mode' to have them enabled. This is to support the situation where a project stores copies of generated files in version control in order to allow casual users to have a fighting chance of building the software without requiring an extensive list of (often version-specific) developer tool requirements. See section 27.2.2 of the automake manual. Brian _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
