Hi Holger,
Hi,
This behavior was observed by Kevin and me, and adding
subdir-objects
resolved the problem. Due to the hectic nature of a workshop where
everyone is waiting for the build to succeed on the system of all
participants we did not have time to record the specific distribution
versions at that time.
The point seems to be that 'make distclean'
wants to remove the
generated objects for the tests, but the latter only are compiled when
'make check' is used, but not in the default build.
Any ideas?
The CI has been broken since the 15th of August and the easiest way
to get it building again was to revert. Now that some versions have broken
subdir-objects and some versions (it would be good to know which one)
actually require it to work we have some options:
* Contact automake/automake-ng folks and ask for support
* Require the minimum version for automake that has a working subdir-objects
* Don’t use make distcheck in the CI and enable subdir-objects
* Don’t have a recursive make
