(sorry for that.) what is a "VPATH build", specifically? what other kinds of builds are there? (This was uncovered by a simple "make distcheck", which thankfully write-protects the source directory. I hope everybody uses "make distcheck" freely before checking in their changes, eh?) you can do more than hope: why not write down some good tips under workbook/build/ somewhere? [cleaning not required in the presence of SCM_MAGIC_SNARFER] if you remove cleaning you need to promote SCM_MAGIC_SNARFER to required status and document accordingly. thi _______________________________________________ Bug-guile mailing list Bug-guile@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-guile
