Last comment is nonsense: This is for `master'. Patch now applied, thanks.

[For the record: This bug report is for the new `automake' branch.]

It seems that gnulib is not yet integrated as intended by its developers: All those targets are automatically handled without any additional user intervention if everything is installed as described in gnulib's documentation.

I'm assigning this to Bertrand.

Tue 12 Aug 2014 05:42:51 PM UTC, original submission:

GNULIBDIRS is not included in LIBDIRS for a reason: The gnulib build system doesn't support the do= mechanism, so the $(TARGETS): rule cannot handle it. However, that doesn't mean there is nothing to do there.

Let's look at which TARGETS are relevant for gnulib:

all: not needed because that's already covered by the $(GNULIBDIRS): rule and the targets depending on it.

distclean: distclean from the top level should descend here. That's actually important because right now, when you run "make distclean; ./configure; make dist" on the top level then you get a broken tarball containing src/libs/gnulib/Makefile even though the distclean step ought to have cleaned that out. Using that tarball will fail because gnulib/configure will not be run on the target system.

clean: not quite as important as distclean, but still: clean should clean gnulib, too.

mostlyclean TAGS: not important enough to warrant their own rule, i think.

install_bin install_data realclean extraclean distfiles depend uninstall_sub fonts: not implemented in gnulib.
