I've just tried to switch findutils from "gnulib-tool
--create-testdir" (which findutils uses at the moment to import
gnulib) to "gnulib-tool --import" (which is plainly the preferred
option) and the result is that I now get errors like this :-


$ aclocal -I . -I gnulib/m4 ; autoheader  ; autoconf  ; automake --add-missing 
--copy
gnulib/Makefile.am:19: required file `gnulib/waitpid.c' not found
gnulib/Makefile.am:19: required file `gnulib/strspn.c' not found
gnulib/Makefile.am:18: automatically discovered file `strftime.c' should not be 
explicitly mentioned




The gnulib-tool command line was as folows :

/home/james/source/findutils/gnulib-2004-10-22/gnulib/gnulib-tool --import 
--dir=. --lib=libgnulib --source-base=gnulib --m4-base=gnulib/m4 alloca

I'm using the gnulib code updated as of a couple of hours ago.  

$ nl -ba  gnulib/Makefile.am | sed -n 13,20p
    13
    14  AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.5 gnits no-dependencies
    15
    16  noinst_LIBRARIES = libgnulib.a
    17
    18  libgnulib_a_SOURCES =
    19  libgnulib_a_LIBADD = @LIBOBJS@
    20  EXTRA_DIST =


Any suggestions as to what I should look at?  If you need to see the
code the findutils CVS repository is available via the instructions at
https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=findutils and the changes I've
made so far are

Regards & TIA for any suggestions,
James.
