I recently switched to building in a directory separate from where the source
is (so I can have 2 builds--on 2 architectures--from the same source code).
But I have noticed that some files used at runtime are not picked up because
they are not copied/linked into the build directory. Examples include:
- COPYING (for Help->About)
- manuf
- services
- diameter/
- radius/
... basically all the stuff in the *_DATA variables in the top-level
Makefile.am .
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY tells Wireshark to pick these files up from
the build directory, but in my case they're not in the build directory, they're
in the /source/ directory.
Searching for a way to get the files (unmodified and not renamed) into the
build directory with automake hasn't yielded any good ideas. Make refuses to
symlink the files, for example like this:
diameter:
ln -s $(top_srcdir)/diameter .
because (thanks to VPATH?) it thinks that $(top_srcdir)/diameter is the same as
$(top_builddir)/diameter .
