It has moved from guile-core/TODO to workbook/tasks/TODO. When invoking "make dist", the file does not exist and there is no rul to create it. Rather, the dist-hook target copies it from the workbook. However, this is too late. The dist-hook is run _after_ the distribution directory (in $distdir) has been built, not before. Additionally, the dist-hook target is meant to modify the contents of $distdir, not the $srcdir (or build dir in case of a VPATH build). As a fix, I propose to remove this code from guile-core/Makefile if MAINTAINER_MODE # Fill dist tree. include $(top_srcdir)/am/maintainer-dirs dist-hook: ( echo 'This is a snapshot of the TODO file.' ; date ; echo ; \ cat $(workbook)/tasks/TODO ) > TODO endif and add this line to guile-core/autogen.sh ln -s $workbook/tasks/TODO TODO I have done this change already in order to be able to proceed, but please feel free to suggest a better solution. (One tempting thing is to not distribute TODO at all.) _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
