Re: Conditionals in CVS Automake

[Robert Boehne]

Akim:

Ok, I hand-edited the Makefile.in's to add -c to the rule
that makes libtool *.lo objects, then reconfigured.
But the original problem exists in your patched version.
I'm looking into the differences between the Makefile.in's in
libtool's demo directory and I've noticed that the CVS
version has EXTRA_PROGRAMS defined twice, one with $(EXEEXT)
and one without.
  The following are two lines from CVS Automake Makefile.in

@address@hidden = dlmain.$(OBJEXT)
helldl_OBJECTS = $(am_helldl_OBJECTS)

If @BINARY_HELLDL_TRUE@ is expanded to "#" then there is no
definition for $(am_helldl_OBJECTS), but it is used throughout
Makefile.in.  Does any of this set off alarm bells?
