The whole thing is quite messy - the file is used to indicate that the man pages were correctly generated prior to applying the "fixup" (alias) At the same time we use a rule with the same name, to create the same file if the generation has failed. In other words - it attempts to create the file either way. So there is little point in it and we can remove it. Spotted while attempting to build with bmake which kindly blocked on the following (non compliant construct) .man_fixup: | $(miscman_DATA) Cc: Jonathan Gray <jsg@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> --- Jonathan, With the following patch libdrm build fine on my Arch + bmake. The `dist' target is still broken, yet `all' and `check' work great. Will you guys consider moving back to the upstream build ? As mentioned before if there are problems do mention/file bugs so that we can get them sorted. -Emil man/Makefile.am | 11 +++-------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/Makefile.am b/man/Makefile.am index 44b63a5..00eb423 100644 --- a/man/Makefile.am +++ b/man/Makefile.am @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ MAN_FILES = \ $(miscman_aliases_DATA) EXTRA_DIST = $(XML_FILES) -CLEANFILES = $(MAN_FILES) .man_fixup +CLEANFILES = $(MAN_FILES) XSLTPROC_FLAGS = \ --stringparam man.authors.section.enabled 0 \ @@ -48,14 +48,9 @@ XSLTPROC_FLAGS = \ $(MANPAGES_STYLESHEET) XSLTPROC_PROCESS_MAN = \ - $(AM_V_GEN)$(XSLTPROC) -o "$@" $(XSLTPROC_FLAGS) "$<" && \ - touch .man_fixup + $(AM_V_GEN)$(XSLTPROC) -o "$@" $(XSLTPROC_FLAGS) "$<" -# Force .man_fixup if $(miscman_DATA) are not built -.man_fixup: | $(miscman_DATA) - $(AM_V_GEN)touch .man_fixup - -$(miscman_aliases_DATA): $(miscman_DATA) .man_fixup +$(miscman_aliases_DATA): $(miscman_DATA) $(AM_V_GEN)if test -n "$@" ; then $(SED) -i -e 's/^\.so \([a-z_]\+\)\.\([0-9]\)$$/\.so man\2\/\1\.\2/' "$@" ; fi SUFFIXES = .$(LIB_MAN_SUFFIX) .$(MISC_MAN_SUFFIX) .xml -- 2.4.5 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
