It looks like dbus is always rebuilt.

make -d -n dbus shows: (In Swedish :-)

- ----------------------------

Basically "dbus-1.1.1/.configured" depends on "libxml2-install-staging" which does not exist,
Make cannot find an implicit rule for libxml2-install-staging.

The rule to create dbus-1.1.1/.configured is therefore run, and the rest of the dbus targets are then run as well.

I tried
.PHONY: libxml2-install-staging
but this does not seem to work.

Any ideas?

?h nej da!

/me hands Ulf a LANG=C

That's a known issue with Makefile.autotools.in. See r22461.

phony rules like libxml2-install-staging are always considered out of date. We'll need to move to version independent stamp files like recently discussed on the list to handle it.
