I.e., + rather than running make in man/, lib/, src/, tests/, instead, the top + level Makefile.am includes a $dir/local.mk that describes how to build + the targets in the corresponding directory. Two directories remain + unconverted: po/, gnulib-tests/. One nice side-effect is that the more + accurate dependencies have eliminated a nagging occasional failure that + was seen when running parallel "make syntax-check". + * Noteworthy changes in release 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable] |
