Created attachment 5892 Thunar Makefile.am patch With this patch, generated files are not mixed with typed source files.
@Matt32: What problem does this patch fix? @maintainers: this patch causes no regression for me.
This patch does not fix anything. It simplifies the Makefile to avoid confusion between what is generated by a tool and what is coded by the developpers. But, as discussed on IRC, it could be improved by merging $(thunar_generated_sources) into $(thunar_built_sources).
Thanks for clarifying Matt. Could you please propose a patch that contains the discussed improvements? This report is on the list of 4.12 bugs so the patch can then be applied before the 4.12 release. Thanks.
