I don't get it. The man/ subdirectory is recursed by Automake after
src/ while executing the target `all' so the binary should indeed exist
at the time the rule is triggered...
You cannot guarantee that. Firstly, if the -j flag is passed then you
do not know the order - they could even happen in parallel. Secondly,
when make sees a rule like :
basedir: src man x y
whilst *most* implementations (when no -j flag is given) process the
targets from left to right, that is not specified by any standard
(the GNU Make manual doesn't specify)
Ah I didn't know that :)
All right, the change is OK for master then.
Thanks.
