I've now run a build using "make distcheck --debug=3Dv" and attached the log for future reference. It seems that problem is the following: ,---- | Prerequisite `effective-version.texi' is newer than target `../../../d= oc/ref/guile.info'. | Must remake target `../../../doc/ref/guile.info'. | make[5]: Entering directory `/home/rotty/src/guile/_build/guile-2.0.7.12-= c23fb/_build/doc/ref' | [... actual failure happens here ... ] `---- While "doc/ref/effective-version.texi", as contained in the tarball, is indeed older than guile.info (A), it seems a build-directory version of "effective-version.texi" is generated by configure (B, C), and that copy is then used by make for calculating whether guile.info needs to be (re-)built, as indicated by the above log snippet. The below commands are executed inside the extracted copy of the tarball, in which the build fails (i.e. /home/rotty/src/guile/_build/guile-2.0.7.12-c23fb/): (A)=20 % ls --full-time doc/ref/guile.info doc/ref/effective-version.texi=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 -r--r--r-- 1 rotty rotty 27 2012-12-26 17:35:08.000000000 +0100 doc/ref/= effective-version.texi -r--r--r-- 1 rotty rotty 29821 2012-12-26 17:35:16.000000000 +0100 doc/ref/= guile.info (B) % ls --full-time _build/doc/ref/effective-version.texi=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20 -rw-r--r-- 1 rotty rotty 27 2013-01-05 16:32:37.150982801 +0100 _build/doc/= ref/effective-version.texi (C) ,---- | ... | config.status: creating doc/ref/effective-version.texi | ... `---- At least that's what I read out of the logs. I just wonder why nobody else seems to have run into this issue, which now looks like a genuine buildsystem bug to me. Thoughts? Kind Regards, Rotty --=20 Andreas Rottmann --
