Re: [help-gengetopt] gengetopt and gmake

[Kevin Musker]

Hi Lorenzo,

I was just refering to the saying that the simplest solution [getting
version control to ignore the files] is probably the best.

Getting version control to ignore the files should work fine. We
actually use subversion, but the principle is the same.

I understand where you're coming from. It's a deficiency in our
procedures, but as there is a workaround, I'm happy.

Thanks,

Kevin.

sorry I don't understand, is it a question?

so does the .cvsignore solution work?

you could also add the two generated files in the CLEANFILES variable
(or DISTCLEANFILES).

My only concern in generating the .h and the .c separetely is that they
heavily depend on each other, and when one changes the other will surely

change too, and so they might become inconsistent if they're not
generated at the same time...

hope to hear from you soon
cheers
