Hmm, I really don't see how it could be used for this purpose: It is
called before starting the VPATH build, here's an excerpt:
| mkdir nftables-1.1.5/_build nftables-1.1.5/_build/sub nftables-1.1.5/_inst
| chmod a-w nftables-1.1.5
| test -d nftables-1.1.5/_build || exit 0; \
| dc_install_base=`CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd nftables-1.1.5/_inst && pwd | sed -e 's,^[^:\\/]:[\\/],/,'` \
| && dc_destdir="${TMPDIR-/tmp}/am-dc-$$/" \
| && make distcheck-hook \
| && am__cwd=`pwd` \
| && CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd nftables-1.1.5/_build/sub \
| && ../../configure \
| --enable-distcheck \
| \
| --srcdir=../.. --prefix="$dc_install_base" \
| && make \
| && make dvi \
| && make check \
So by the time distcheck-hook runs, there is no Makefile(.in) I could
modify, only the top-level ones (which are tracked in git). What am I
missing here?
Cheers, Phil
