-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was trying to silence warnings during 'automake -Wall' for autoconf. However, I can't figure out what to do for this last warning, that autoconf is overriding automake's definition of distclean-generic. It turns out that autoconf has this comment in tests/Makefile.am: # Avoid a race condition that would make parallel "distclean" fail. # The rule in clean-local tests for existence of $(TESTSUITE), and # if found, attempts to run it. But the distclean-generic rule may # be running in parallel, and it removes $(DISTCLEANFILES) which # includes $(TESTSUITE). The comment is valid. The only way to solve this is to make sure that distclean-generic cannot be started until the actions for clean-local have completed. But if we attempt: | distclean-local: clean-local automake generates this: | distclean: distclean-am | -rm -f Makefile | distclean-am: clean-am distclean-generic distclean-local | distclean-generic: | ... which still doesn't have the necessary dependency. Therefore, autoconf resorted to copying automake's rules for distclean-generic, and putting this in Makefile.am: | distclean-generic: clean-local | -test -z "$(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES)" || rm -f $(CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES) | -test -z "$(DISTCLEANFILES)" || rm -f $(DISTCLEANFILES) which solves the ordering constraint, but causes the automake warning. It seems like this is a bug in automake - shouldn't it output something like: | distclean: clean-am distclean-am or, conditional on clean-local being defined, | distclean: clean-local distclean-am so that distclean rules don't start until clean rules have completed? Or is there some other way, using automake 1.10.1, to add the needed serialization between clean-local and distclean-generic without triggering the automake warning about overriding an Automake target? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
