Description Olivier Crête 2008-05-08 20:25:03 UTC 
The current makefiles fails with -j3.
The testing stuff does not properly depend on the libepc.la in the generated Makefile

I'm using automake 1.10 and autoconf 2.61

I guess one solution is to use recursive makefiles...

No, it would hide the problem at best. Hidding problems it not what I prefer to call "solution".
Comment 2 Olivier Crête 2008-05-08 22:25:45 UTC 
I agree its not the best "solution"... but I'm afraid automake may not be flat-makefile friendly...

    Properly express dependencies of libepc-ui-1.0.la.
    
    * Makefile.am:
      Remove libepc/libepc-1.0.la from libepc_ui_libepc_ui_1_0_la_LDFLAGS
      and properly add it to libepc_ui_libepc_ui_1_0_la_LIBADD.

Thanks for reporting. Randomly saw that problem, but never had the motivation to investigate it. Actually automake 1.10 works pretty well with flat makefiles. You just have to use it proper. Using LDFLAGS instead of LIBADD also would have been wrong and troublesome with recursive makefiles.
