I tracked down the source of the two-autogen.sh-runs-required bug. Here's the fix: >From 0583de2de2038d4f8875268391fd4994329d39bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:08:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] do not require two ./autogen.sh runs to permit "make" * autogen.sh (bootstrap_hash): New function. Running bootstrap may update the gnulib SHA1, yet we were computing t=$(git submodule status ...) *prior* to running bootstrap, and then recording that sometimes-stale value in the stamp file upon a successful bootstrap run. That would require two (lengthy!) bootstrap runs to update the stamp file. --- autogen.sh | 21 ++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/autogen.sh b/autogen.sh index ff94678..b93cdba 100755 --- a/autogen.sh +++ b/autogen.sh @@ -62,20 +62,27 @@ else fi fi +# Compute the hash we'll use to determine whether rerunning bootstrap +# is required.
