[Ekiga-devel-list] PTLib autotools; install error with --disable-video

[hohyeis eml cc]

2 issues are addressed in this mail:
- unusual and undesirable autotools behaviour
- an error during 'make install' after 'configure --disable-video'


After configure,
'make' will not recompile, even if compile parameters have changed, when object files are present. This is unlike other projects I have encountered which use autotools. 

Running 'make install' without a previous 'make' results in error because the 'install' target does not depend on the one for compiling.

I am not knowledgeable about autotools set up and don't know what to change to improve these.


configuring with

./configure --disable-video

results in the following error during 'make install'
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `././videoinput/*.so': No such file or directory
