Thanks Aaron,
That did the trick.
Questions however.
The DISTFILES= statement you added is obviously different from the
DISTFILES+= in the (WITH_OPENING_BOOK) section.
Does the + symbol just mean in addition to the main file?
I am guessing if I am correct in the + comment above that an
'EXTRACT_ONLY" statement is not needed because it is an additional file
to the main?
Looking at another Makefile, the gcompris2 one to be exact, I do not see
an EXTRACT_ONLY line. I looked at two others and they also do not have
an EXTRACT_ONLY line.
This statement is only needed in certain circumstances, or there is more
then one way to do the same thing?
Thanks
Sean
