dist: fix bug#18286 "distcheck fails to detect missing files"
BTW, this issue had been already reported in the past:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-09/msg00008.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00049.html
"make distcheck" could sometimes fail to detect missing files in the
distribution tarball, especially in those cases where both the generated
files and their dependencies are explicitly in $(srcdir). An important
example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake
time in Makefile.am. A basic example:
# -*- Makefile.am -*-
$(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh
cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am
include $(srcdir)/fragment.am
...
If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution
tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded!
The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also
looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued
VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is
part of the original development directory.
* t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be
'$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks
Nicola Fontana for the suggestion.
* t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh',
as it's now passing.
* t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due
to the new distcheck semantics.
* t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise.
* t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise.
* t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Update.
