I'm trying to figure out whats going on here. I have a small project with
a texinfo file in the doc/ directory. I have
info_TEXINFOS= foo.texi
BUILT_SOURCES= foo.texi
in Makefile.am and foo.texi gets created from foo.texi.in with autoconf
(there are a handful of values which get propagated to several places
including the documentation).
In the texi file there is an
@include version.texi
after the header.
Everything seems ok when I build, but 'make distcheck' gives the following
error:
gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/export/disk1/src/foo/foo-0.5/=build/doc'
cp: ../../doc/stamp-vti: Permission denied
this is because its trying to copy $(srcdir)/version.texi to
$(srcdir)/stamp-vti, but $(srcdir) is read-only for 'distcheck'.
Is this a bug or a pilot error?
Thanks
