Hi,

I have seen https://debbugs.gnu.org/49317 and the two commits 13659a7 
and especially 314c55f. I also recognized there is a test case to test 
for the correct behaviour.

Nevertheless I think there is something wrong here. I tried to make it 
work yesterday via AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS (tried both root dir and the 
affected folder) as well as via AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, neither of them 
produced the expected Makefile. No matter which way I tried, I always 
ended up with

     distdir: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
         $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) distdir-am

which, according to both the code in lib/am/distdir.am and the docs 
should not happen, if that option is set.

After looking at these commits again I noticed that although the option 
is named "no-dist-built-sources" (see lib/Automake/Options.pm and the 
docs), the code in bin/automake.in to initialize the DIST_BUILT_SOURCES 
flag tests against sth. else:

     'DIST_BUILT_SOURCES' => !! option 'dist-built-sources',

Which raised the question, whether that feature really works as 
intended, or if it could be broken since 314c55f and the test might not 
work properly for some strange reason?

What am I overlooking? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
JensG

PS:The headline refers to the three different variants of that option as 
found in code and commit messages.

Hi Jens - thanks for the report.

    Nevertheless I think there is something wrong here. 

Quite likely. Can you please send an example tree that shows the failure?

     'DIST_BUILT_SOURCES' => !! option 'dist-built-sources',

Hmm. I had a vague impression that the "no-" was automatically
supported, but I'm not seeing it now.

    or if it could be broken since 314c55f and the test might not 
    work properly for some strange reason?

Certainly possible.

    What am I overlooking? What am I doing wrong?

Probably nothing, x 2 :). --thanks again, karl.

Hi Karl,

 > Can you please send an example tree that shows the failure?

I modified the existing testscript slightly so I can get a view into 
both configure.ac and Makefile files.

https://gist.github.com/Jens-G/dc9e3fc89d10d1dcf27f289c7e8d5fc8

The output I got from this and dist-no-built-sources.log is rather 
interesting. As it looks, the test is indeed broken from the beginning.

1. Since the tests are run in the specified order, "no-built-sources" 
first followed by "dist-built-sources", the section that modifies 
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is run only once, in the first. Consequently, the only 
change in the second round is that another AC_OUTPUT line is added at 
the end - other than that configure.ac looks absolutely identical in 
both cases:

    AC_INIT([dist-no-built-sources], [1.0])
    AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([no-dist-built-sources])
    AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
    AC_OUTPUT
    AC_OUTPUT    <<<< this is added in round 2

2. Even if we fix the script so that it properly resets AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE 
in the second round, grepping the generated Makefile for "BUILT_SOURCES" 
still gives the exact same output in both cases, which is also unexpected:

    AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([no-dist-built-sources])
    BUILT_SOURCES = x.c
    all: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    distdir: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    check: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    install: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    install-exec: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
        -$(am__rm_f) $(BUILT_SOURCES)

Have fun,

JensG

    <p>Hi Karl,<br>
      <br>
      &gt; <span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Can you please send an example tree that shows the failure?</span></p>
    <p>I modified the existing testscript slightly so I can get a view
      into both configure.ac and Makefile files. <br>
    </p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gist.github.com/Jens-G/dc9e3fc89d10d1dcf27f289c7e8d5fc8">https://gist.github.com/Jens-G/dc9e3fc89d10d1dcf27f289c7e8d5fc8</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>The output I got from this and dist-no-built-sources.log is
      rather interesting. As it looks, the test is indeed broken from
      the beginning.<br>
    </p>
    <p>1. Since the tests are run in the specified order,
      &quot;no-built-sources&quot; first followed by &quot;dist-built-sources&quot;, the
      section that modifies AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is run only once, in the
      first. Consequently, the only change in the second round is that
      another AC_OUTPUT line is added at the end - other than that
      configure.ac looks absolutely identical in both cases:</p>
    <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; AC_INIT([dist-no-built-sources], [1.0])<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([no-dist-built-sources])<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; AC_OUTPUT<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; AC_OUTPUT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; this is added in round 2</p>
    <p>2. Even if we fix the script so that it properly resets
      AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in the second round, grepping the generated
      Makefile for &quot;BUILT_SOURCES&quot; still gives the exact same output in
      both cases, which is also unexpected:</p>
    <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([no-dist-built-sources])<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; BUILT_SOURCES = x.c<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; all: $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; distdir: $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; check: $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; install: $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; install-exec: $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -$(am__rm_f) $(BUILT_SOURCES)<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>

Hi,

I just realized the last part might be confusing.

What I meant by "looks identical" is only the output of the *second* 
grep (see linked script), not the whole file:

    BUILT_SOURCES = x.c
    all: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    distdir: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    check: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    install: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
    install-exec: $(BUILT_SOURCES)
        -$(am__rm_f) $(BUILT_SOURCES)

Have fun,

JensG
