Re: [gDesklets] Getting 0.36.3 out there...

[Bjoern Koch <H Humpel gmx de>]

Hi again,

so, I almost set everything up for RC1, BUT... ;).

I addad a "Makefile_bascidesklets.am" into the main dir of the
desklets-basic. This way I just hoped to integrate the files in there
much easier by just adding it to "Makefile.am".
Just like it is done with "Makefile_python.am".

But I can't figure out how to make it work.

First I got the following error from autogen.sh:

Running automake-1.11...
Makefile_basicdesklets.am:2: `basicdesklets_dist_install_DATA' is used
but `basicdesklets_dist_installdir' is undefined
Makefile.am:17:   `Makefile_basicdesklets.am' included from here


I have now idea why automake is not complaining about Makefile_python.am
as I cannot find any definition of "nobase_dist_installdir" either... ??!!
OK, anyway, so I just added the following line to the top of
Makefile_basicdesklets.am:

basicdesklets_dist_installdir = ${coredir}

So, now automake is happy (hooray!) and even the new Makefile is looking
good (to me).

But now "make install" is bugging me (so the Makefile seems not to be as
good as it looks to me :/ ) as it tries to copy all the files in
Makefile_basicdesklets.am to the /usr/local/lib/gdesklets, but
non-recursive (meaning: e.g. clock.display will be copied to
/usr/local/lib/gdesklets/clock.display etc.).

So, what am I missing here?


Anyway, so I decides to go the "ugly way" and append everything from
Makefile_basicdesklets.am to Makefile_python.am.

So everything works fine now:
autogen.sh
configure.sh
make
make install (as root)

So far, so good.

But if I want to pack thing up with "make dist-bzip2" /the way I usually
did it before) I get the following error:

make distdir
make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »intltool-extract.in«,
  benötigt von »distdir«, zu erstellen.  Schluss.

So make doesn't find a rule for intltool-extract.in which is neede by
distdir.

So now you lost me completely :/.
I have no clue what's going on here right now.
I hardly know anything about automake etc. and with "try'n'error" it's
getting too frustrating right now... :(.

Any hint ???
