Actually, the fix seems to be much simpler: --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -117,8 +117,8 @@ appman_DATA = $(appman_PRE:man.cpp=@APP_MAN_SUFFIX@) noinst_DATA = $(noinst_man_PRE:man.cpp=@APP_MAN_SUFFIX@) MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog INSTALL -CLEANFILES = $(appman_DATA) -EXTRA_DIST = $(appman_PRE) +CLEANFILES = $(appman_DATA) $(noinst_man_DATA) +EXTRA_DIST = $(appman_PRE) $(noinst_man_PRE) include $(top_srcdir)/cpprules.in It may make sense to move the man pages to a subdir for consistency later, but that didn't fix the issue when I tried it. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Just moving into a subdir won't fix anything. I was referring to replacing the cpp method with the sed method used in 155 modules. If there is a quick fix in the mean time, perfect.<BR> <BR> </BODY> </HTML>
