I attach two patches. The first is a trivial documentation fix. The second fixes a bug I ran into recently with Vala compilation.
I just needed to add some Vala source files to my program that are added to the relevant _SOURCES variable conditionally:
if OS_WIN32
libenchant_la_SOURCES += api-windows.vala
else
libenchant_la_SOURCES += api-posix.vala
endif
(Motivation: the reason I have to add the files conditionally is two-fold: first, api-windows.vala and api-posix.vala call APIs that are only available on Windows and POSIX systems respectively. In itself, this does not require conditional inclusion; I can use Vala preprocessor directives, just as I would in C. But the Vala compiler generates C files, and I want the user of my package not to need a Vala compiler. Therefore, the generated C code must be independent of build-time configuration. Since the Vala compiler does not generate C preprocessor directives, I have to do conditional inclusion at build time some other way. So, I am doing it by using automake conditionals.)
With current automake, something like the following Makefile line is generated:
$(builddir)/libenchant_la_vala.stamp: api-windows.vala api-posix.vala…
With my patch, the following line is generated instead:
$(builddir)/libenchant_la_vala.stamp: $(libenchant_la_SOURCES)
Of course, $(libenchant_la_SOURCES) expands to the actual sources.
The patch is trivial, so hopefully it's obvious if there's a problem for some reason! I hope I explained well enough what problem I'm trying to solve.
