[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45646] files in source distribution should not be deleted on "clean" or "distclean"

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #45646 (project octave):

The problem seems to be the line in config.h that is 


#include "oct-conf-post.h"


config.h is in the build directory and it assumes that oct-conf-post.h is also
in the build directory.  The line that generates this in config.h is in
configure.ac:


AH_BOTTOM([#include "oct-conf-post.h"])


If there is a way to substitute a variable, such as $srcdir, in the
configure.ac code then this can be easily solved.  I tried, but wasn't
successful.  We could also have a rule to copy over oct-conf-post.h from the
source to the build directory but first checking to see if they were the same.
 Something has to be done, but I don't have good ideas right now.
