I suspect it would be possible to solve by splitting the timestamps into two
different files. One is the VERSION file determining when autoconf needs to
be run and a timestamp file determines when the version.sh script needs be
run. Something like:
That is interesting, and perhaps something I may try when I have the
time.
In the mean time I am using this simple solution, which works because
I know what version.sh uses to produce its version (data from itself,
and from ChangeLog). I added this to configure.ac:
AC_SUBST([CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES],["$CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES
\$(top_srcdir)/ChangeLog \$(top_srcdir)/version.sh"])
Since the two files always exist, there is no intermediate stuff to
generate.
I was previously using something similar, but just for config.status:
AC_SUBST([CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES],['$(top_srcdir)/ChangeLog
$(top_srcdir)/version.sh'])
If the version stamp info came from git or hg, then intermediate
generated files would surely be required.
