The following build error occurs when building outside of the source directory: glib-mkenums --template spice-server-enums.tmpl.c ../../server/spice-server.h > spice-server-enums.c Can't open spice-server-enums.tmpl.c: No such file or directory Makefile:1111: recipe for target 'spice-server-enums.c' failed GNU Make does some magic to know that the spice-server-enums.tmpl.c file listed in the prerequisites for the rule is located in the srcdir. But when we use the bare filename in the rule definition, it assumes that it is in the builddir. If there was an automatic variable that we could use (like $< that we already use for the first prerequisite), the srdir would be automatically prepended to the filename, but there's nothing we can use for the second prerequisite. So we need to explicitly specify the location of the input template file. --- server/Makefile.am | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/server/Makefile.am b/server/Makefile.am index 972f3e2..949e56a 100644 --- a/server/Makefile.am +++ b/server/Makefile.am @@ -202,10 +202,10 @@ libspice_server_la_LIBADD = libserver.la libspice_server_la_SOURCES = spice-server-enums.c: spice-server.h spice-server-enums.tmpl.c - $(AM_V_GEN)glib-mkenums --template spice-server-enums.tmpl.c $< > $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)glib-mkenums --template $(srcdir)/spice-server-enums.tmpl.c $< > $@ spice-server-enums.h: spice-server.h spice-server-enums.tmpl.h - $(AM_V_GEN)glib-mkenums --template spice-server-enums.tmpl.h $< > $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)glib-mkenums --template $(srcdir)/spice-server-enums.tmpl.h $< > $@ EXTRA_DIST = \ spice-bitmap-utils.tmpl.c \ -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
