EXTRA_DIST is intended for files that must unconditionally be part of the tarball, so it should be outside HAVE_SANLOCK. Once that is fixed, then there is no need to cp an unchanged qemu-sanlock.conf from srcdir to builddir in a VPATH build, not to mention that $(builddir) is not supported in the automake in use in RHEL 5. * src/Makefile.am ($(builddir)/locking/%-sanlock.conf): Delete. (BUILT_SOURCES): No need to build qemu-sanlock.conf. (EXTRA_DIST): Always ship sanlock .aug and .conf files. --- As promised in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-June/msg01448.html I'm starting a 'make distcheck' overnight to fully test this, but think that it will pass without issues. src/Makefile.am | 15 +++++---------- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am index 8f99cc2..bfbaa06 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.am +++ b/src/Makefile.am @@ -1186,6 +1186,10 @@ libvirt_qemu_la_LIBADD = libvirt.la $(CYGWIN_EXTRA_LIBADD) EXTRA_DIST += $(LIBVIRT_QEMU_SYMBOL_FILE) +EXTRA_DIST += locking/sanlock.conf \ + locking/libvirt_sanlock.aug \ + locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug + if HAVE_SANLOCK lockdriverdir = $(libdir)/libvirt/lock-driver lockdriver_LTLIBRARIES = sanlock.la @@ -1199,20 +1203,11 @@ sanlock_la_LIBADD = -lsanlock \ augeas_DATA += locking/libvirt_sanlock.aug augeastest_DATA += locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug -EXTRA_DIST += locking/sanlock.conf \ - locking/libvirt_sanlock.aug \ - locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug - -$(builddir)/locking/%-sanlock.conf: $(srcdir)/locking/sanlock.conf - $(AM_V_GEN)mkdir locking ; \ - cp $< $@ - if WITH_QEMU conf_DATA += locking/qemu-sanlock.conf -BUILT_SOURCES += locking/qemu-sanlock.conf endif else -EXTRA_DIST += $(LOCK_DRIVER_SANLOCK_SOURCES) locking/sanlock.conf +EXTRA_DIST += $(LOCK_DRIVER_SANLOCK_SOURCES) endif noinst_LTLIBRARIES += libvirt-net-rpc.la libvirt-net-rpc-server.la libvirt-net-rpc-client.la -- 1.7.4.4 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
