GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 779987
release tarballs don't have generated files
Last modified: 2017-03-20 09:52:37 UTC
The retro-gtk release tarballs aren't generated like the other GNOME tarballs. I have to manually run ./autogen.sh as part of my build. This is an excerpt from the retro-gtk build but I think gnome-games has the same issue: checking for RETRO_GTK... yes checking that generated files are newer than configure... done configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating retro-gtk/retro-gtk-0.10.pc config.status: creating retro-gtk/Makefile config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in' I believe all you need to do to create the tarball is ./autogen.sh make make dist (There might be a way to do that through jhbuild but you'll have to ask someone else about that.) Also, you didn't bump the configure.ac for the new retro-gtk release (which you'll need to do for 'make dist' to produce the right filename).
Created attachment 347849 [details] [review] build: Make .xz tarballs by default Here's some extra options that will help make dist. I believe 'foreign' is if you don't want to have all the stuff GNU projects require.
