Re: [Denemo-devel] 0.9.4rc1 tarball for testing

Hi, I had the same issue as Edgar. When pulling from git, after
autogen.sh and ./configure I get this error:

Makefile:894: *** missing separator.  Stop.

The line in the Makefile looks like this:

dnl bin_SCRIPTS = denemo_file_update.sh

I applied this patch to the Makefile.am and make worked like a chram:

--- src/denemo/Makefile.am      2012-03-28 21:49:40.000000000 +0200
+++ Makefile.am 2012-03-28 21:50:07.000000000 +0200

             doc/DESIGN.lilypond actions include \
             guile-1.8.pc \


Also I found a statement on the issue on stackoverflow.com:

"Since Makefile.am is not processed by m4, 'dnl' does not introduce a
comment." (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3371239/autoconf-dnl-vs)

Here are the versionnumbers of the software involved (afaik):

make 3.82
gcc 4.6.3
autogen 5.12

Hope this helps!
Best,

Bjoern

P.s. sorry, I was not shure if this should go into a new thread and how
to name it, so I left it as it was...
