[PATCH] Use subdir-objects in Automake init
Last modified: 2016-03-31 13:22:07 UTC
Created attachment 253724 [details] [review] Use subdir-objects in Automake init Automake 1.14 prints a warning if subdir-objects is not explicitly specified. gnome-boxes already builds correctly with subdir-objects, so no changes are necessary other than adding subdir-objects to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. See [1] for more details. [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/List-of-Automake-options.html#index-subdir_002dobjects
Review of attachment 253724 [details] [review]: I don't see anything in the pointed docs about this being compulsory but seems harmless and good change anyways. You got commit access?
I don't have commit access; what does it take to get it? subdir-objects is effectively mandatory because AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE includes the -Wall and -Werror options, meaning the warning causes the build to fail.
Pushing this on your behalf then. For getting commit acces, you simply need some karma. You collect karma by contributing to some project(s) enough to gain the trust of relevant maintainer(s). Attachment 253724 [details] pushed as 0a1c319 - Use subdir-objects in Automake init
