Attempting to build util-errors using an out of tree build process fails as it tries to run src/extensions.py from the build directory instead of the source directory. I assume it should be something like: index 746cde3..08bcf7b 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -36,5 +36,5 @@ tests_test_LDADD = libxcb-errors.la $(XCB_LIBS) CLEANFILES = src/extensions.c src/extensions.c: src/extensions.py - $(AM_V_GEN)src/extensions.py $@.tmp ${XCBPROTO_XCBINCLUDEDIR}/*.xml && \ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(srcdir)/src/extensions.py $@.tmp ${XCBPROTO_XCBINCLUDEDIR}/*.xml && \ mv $@.tmp $@ Or better yet it configure search for python similar to how libxcb does and then run something like: $(AM_V_GEN)$(PYTHON) $(srcdir)/src/extensions.py
commit 5d660ebe872cadcdc85de9d6f9afe05de629c030 Author: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in> Date: Wed May 6 08:10:53 2015 +0200 Do not distribute extensions.c and fix out-of-tree builds It all started with src/extensions.c being distributed. Thanks to this, tarballs shipped with this generated file and actually building this file was skipped. Fix this by using the nodist_ variant of the SOURCES variable. Due to this oversight (sorry!), the out-of-tree build wasn't actually tested. The rule that generates src/extensions.c was missing $(srcdir) in front of the path to extensions.py. This rule is now fixed and, as suggested by Daphne Pfister, also changed to explicitly call the python interpreter. Configure is changed to look for it. Finally, extensions.c couldn't include errors.h. This worked before, because the C compiler automatically looks for headers in the same directory as the source file. However, for out-of-tree builds, the source directory and build directory are different. Paper over this problem by explicitly making it look in the right directory.
