Force a file to be compiled always

[Benjamin Bihler]

Hello,


almost ten years ago there was a question in this mailing list how to force
a source file to be compiled always.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2002-02/msg00099.html

Unfortunately the solutions mentioned there seem not to work with me. My
Makefile.am looks like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libMyLibrary.la

libMyLibrary_la_SOURCES =     MySourceFile.cpp \
                        MySourceFile.h
---------------------------------------------------------------

and when I add the .PHONY-line I get this Makefile.am:

---------------------------------------------------------------
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libMyLibrary.la

.PHONY : MySourceFile.cpp

libMyLibrary_la_SOURCES =     MySourceFile.cpp \
                        MySourceFile.h
---------------------------------------------------------------


When executing make I receive this error message:
---------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" means "File or directory not
found".


Is there any easy solution? Or can someone tell me what I have done wrong?


Thank you very much,
