Attachments: output of failing mkdir build && cd build && ../configure && make

Description Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek 2010-09-01 00:09:26 UTC
Created attachment 38343 [details]
output of failing mkdir build && cd build && ../configure && make

On my machine, systemd build fine when running 'configure && make' from the root of the source directory. When running from a 'build' subdirectory (either under the top-level source directory or in a completely different place), the build fails with 

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../systemadm_vala.stamp', needed by `../src/systemadm.c'.  Stop.

This is pretty much standard use of automake's vala integration. Probably something to report to upstream autoconf.
Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2010-09-05 17:38:05 UTC
uh, to upstream automake I meant.
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2010-10-05 14:38:37 UTC
OK, closing, please submit to automake upstream!
