'make distcheck' was failing with: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/libvirt-tmp2/libvirt-1.1.1/_build/docs' perl ../../docs/genaclperms.pl ../../src/access/viraccessperm.h > ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc /bin/sh: ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc: Permission denied when simulating the case of a user doing a VPATH build from a read-only source tree. The culprit? BUILT_SOURCES are _always_ built, and so must NOT be built into srcdir and need not be part of the tarball. On the other hand, shipped files must never depend on files in the builddir. While it would be possible to fix the problem by generating aclperms.htmlinc into builddir, we then have the problem that we ship acl.html - we'd have to rejigger a lot of things to not ship pre-built html. So this patch goes the other direction - we don't need BUILT_SOURCES, but instead ensure that we have proper dependencies so that all files in srcdir are up-to-date at the time the tarball is created. And because we ship html files in the tarball, that implies we don't expect users to be able to rebuild them, so we must not clean any files that would trigger a rebuild except under the maintainer rules. * docs/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Delete. (CLEANFILES): Downgrade aclperms.htmlinc cleanup... (maintainer-clean-local): ...and move hvsupport.html.in... (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): ...to a maintainer action. (hvsupport.html.in): Write into srcdir. (hvsupport.html): Ensure files are built in order. (aclperms.htmlinc): Honor silent make. (EXTRA_DIST): Ship aclperms.htmlinc.
