First problems I found is that make dist fails for the same reason several
other packages do: it depends on numerous *.h files that are
autogenerated. The problem being that the target that generates them
isn't a dependency of dist or distdir. This means one has to do a full
make all in the source directory before doing a make dist. Ick.
Another problem is in docgen/man/Makefile.am, where it lists bak/ in
EXTRA_DIST, but there's no such directory. Also,
examples/translated_from_gtk/Makefile.am lists several directories that
don't exist, specifically buttons/, clist/, and rulers/. And
examples/Makefile.am lists testgtk--/, but that directory is rather bare,
and thus there is no distdir target.
And the last thing is the fact that the package is called Gtk-- in the
root Makefile.am, yet all other references are gtk--. This causes
numerous problems for automation scripts such as the ones I use to do
nightly CVS snapshots and tarball builds.
I can go fix the Makefile.am problems myself, and possibly the issue with
the autogenerated headers, but changing the references to Gtk-- is someone
else's decision entirely, though I encourage whoever it is to change it to
save everyone the hassle of mismatched names.
TTYL,
