Re: [PATCH 3/3] Vala: Use $(srcdir) in rebuild rules

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hi Jürg,

I'm following up on this patch with this one, to document the temporary
requirement for GNU make and avoid test failure reports that we already
know of.

Cheers,
Ralf

    Vala: for now, require GNU make.
    
    * doc/automake.texi (Vala Support): GNU make is currently
    required for Vala sources.
    * tests/vala2.test, tests/vala3.test, tests/vala5.test: Require
    GNU make.
