[From Mikulas] > > config.h.in : am__configure_deps > > echo build config.h.in > > rm -f stamp-h1 > > touch config.h.in [...] > Hmm, adding a "sleep 1" after that rm -f and before the touch > config.h.in would work without reintroducing the issue described in > that explanation, no? > Philip Guenther [Mikulas again] Yes it fixes it, you can add "sleep 1" to automake there, that fixes the bug. Does this bug still come up? Is it worth considering adding the sleep 1 to automake after the rm -f? All those sleeps might add up, though. An alternative would be a variable for a command (that does nothing by default) that could be overridden in a project that needs to worry about this problem. That would be safe in that it would have no visible impact, but I'm not inclined to do so unless it would actually be used. Anyone out there who wants it? --thanks, karl.
