[OpenVIP-devel] upf ./Makefile.am

[Joel B. <jb...@la...>]

I just downloaded the cvs of upf and tried to run ./autogen.sh
which ended in
"Makefile.am:2: directory should not contain `/'"

Makefile.am line 2 contains

SUBDIRS = tools/omniidl include src tools tests examples

Apparently, the problem is that you can only recurse subdirs directly
with automake.  I don't know why.  Go figure.  But, The Automake docs
say you can't do it.  So, either omniidl needs to be moved out to a
second level dir, or possibly I might be able to write into the
Makefiles a conditional subdir that would cause the omniidl to be built
first and then not the next time around.  

The more I think about it, this seems like too much work for such a
simple problem.

Is there any reason it has to be in the tools dir?

I know that it was my comments previously that caused this change, so I
don't mean to be ungrateful.  I just want to find out what is/is not
acceptable regarding directory tree structure.

Thanks,
