Automake generates rules for VALA files which try to create C output
in the source directory. This is pretty strange, but anyway the
build doesn't succeed even if the source directory is writable.
quoting Andrey Borzenkov in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00036.html:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to rebuild systemd
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd) from GIT. It is
using several programs built using vala; in-tree build is OK,
out-of-tree build fails:
{pts/0}% LC_ALL=C make
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bor/build/systemd'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/bor/src/systemd/systemadm_vala.stamp', needed by
`/home/bor/src/systemd/src/systemadm.c'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bor/build/systemd'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Looking at Makefile.in, generated by automake, I cannot understand how
it is supposed to work:
$(srcdir)/src/systemadm.c: $(srcdir)/systemadm_vala.stamp
@if test -f $@; then :; else \
rm -f $(srcdir)/systemadm_vala.stamp; \
$(am__cd) $(srcdir) && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) systemadm_vala.stamp; \
fi
systemadm_vala.stamp: $(systemadm_SOURCES)
$(AM_V_VALAC)$(VALAC) $(systemadm_VALAFLAGS) $(VALAFLAGS) -C
$(systemadm_SOURCES)
$(AM_V_at)touch $@
In out-of-tree build $(srcdir)/systemadm_vala.stamp is not the same as
systemadm_vala.stamp, nor can it be. VPATH search does not apply here,
because path does not yet exist; so when it is rebuilt, file name is
used verbatim.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrey didn't get a definite reply, but the problem seems to be still present.

No objection has been advanced; I've thus pushed the patch and closed this
bug report.
Thanks,
