If auto*-generated files are being checked in to a repo, you may be seeing a problem where the timestamps of those files are not kept in "relational" order when you check out a copy from the repo. I think your choices are to either live with it (just like the way Eric wrote) or run a script after checkout that "touches" the generated files in the correct order so that the dependency order is maintained. If you want an example of this, check out a tarball of NTP and look at the top-level "bootstrap" script. Be advised that NTP's need and use for this is probably quite a bit more involved that what you might need. -- Harlan Stenn <stenn@xxxxxxx> http://ntpforum.isc.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
