[jira] [Created] (LOGCXX-428) Wildcards in Makefile.am break either VPATH or non-VPATH installs

Rhys Ulerich created LOGCXX-428:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Wildcards in Makefile.am break either VPATH or non-VPATH installs
                 Key: LOGCXX-428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-428
             Project: Log4cxx
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 0.10.1
         Environment: Autoconfiscated builds
            Reporter: Rhys Ulerich
            Assignee: Rhys Ulerich


The Makefile.am files scattered about the build tree use wildcards (e.g. src/main/include/log4cxx/Makefile.am) which is a no-no (https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Wildcards.html).  On a VPATH build, not including $(top_srcdir) and $(top_builddir) when looking for headers with *.h causes generated headers to not be installed (e.g. log4cxx/log4cxx.h!).  On a non-VPATH build, including both causes duplicates in the installed file lists (as $(top_srcdir) and $(top_builddir) coincide) and can break installation a la LOG4CXX-385.

The Makefile.am files need to include explicit header lists.
