Hello, Automake gurus. I have a special case for bug#54063. In my case, the .texi file is missing during 'automake' time, because it is being created by 'configure' from a matching .texi.in file. That file exists during 'automake' time, so it can be scanned for the output filename - no need to use /dev/null in such simple case. The attached patch (with a test) should fix this issue. Hope I've done everything the right way. -- Regards - Bogdan ('bogdro') D.
