Dependencies in Makefile.am

[Amilcar do Carmo Lucas]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with libraries and Makefiles.am

The problem was first reported by Brian Gold on
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50762

Meanwile I implemanted the changes he describes on the bug report but 
the problem presists.

Here it hi again:

My project has lots on internal .a libraries and diferent binary targets

Target A
    source1.cpp
    source2.cpp
    lib_a.la
    lib_b.la

Target B
    source3.cpp
    lib_a.a
    lib_c.a

It all compiles and runs fine if I issue make all

But the problem is:

lib_a.a depends on
   sourcex.cpp

lib_b.a
   sourcey.cpp

lib_c.a
   sourcez.cpp

When I change sourcez.cpp and then ask gideon to build TargetB it should 
recompile lib_c.a and then link it to get an uptodate TargetB.
But instead of doing that it just answers "Nothing to do target is uptodate"

Makefile.am for TargetB (autogenerated by Gideon CVS head):
bin_PROGRAMS = TargetB
flexfilmtestsuite_SOURCES = source3.cpp

SUBDIRS = mylib
TargetB_LDADD = $(top_builddir)/mylib/lib_a.a $(top_builddir)/mylib/lib_c.a
TargetB_DEPENDENCIES = $(top_builddir)/mylib/lib_a.a 
$(top_builddir)/mylib/lib_c.a

Any ideas on how to change the Makefile.am to make it work?


Thanks,
