Re: BUILT_SOURCES too clumsy

[Harald Dunkel]

In the meantime I have patched automake, e.g.

diff -ur automake-1.9.5/lib/am/library.am automake-1.9.5.new/lib/am/library.am

It makes sure that the stuff in $(libmy_a_PREDEPEND) gets built
before the library objects. The patches for *_LTLIBRARIES and
*_PROGRAMS look the same.


What do you think? Would you expect any problems with this?
