RE: target dependency bug

[Robert Collins]

This was the original makefile.am fragment:

cf_gen_SOURCES = cf_gen.c defines.h
nodist_cf_gen_SOURCES = cf_gen_defines.h
BUILT_SOURCES = cf_gen_defines.h
 

If I understand you correctly, that should result in a Makefile.in with
cf_gen_defines.h as a dependancy of cf_gen.$(OBJEXT): ?

I'm testing this on my cygwin box with GNU make, automake CVS (as of
early week).
