Fwd: GnuCOBOL needs your help: ax_code_coverage resulting in non-portable makefile

Hi,

I forward a message about ax_code_coverage.

I could fix it by a quick and dirty change but I believe the problem
is more general.

The solution is to use ax_am_macros_static that will allow to add some
custom rules.

But it will need to change   @CODE_COVERAGE_RULES@ to
to include $(top_srcdir)/aminclude_static.am

What do you think ?

Hello Bastien,

we've added the recent version of ax_code_coverage.m4 to GnuCOBOL
(shortly before our planned release) and it works like a charm.
The problem arizes now as we test the release tarball - and it doesn't
even `make` on Solaris any more. The "obvious" problem are the "=?"
included because of the code coverage parts just removing them leads
to more strange errors.

Can you please advise how to remove the code coverage parts during
`make dist`? It would be nice to keep it in and only skip the
offending parts when Solaris' make is invoked but I wouldn't have any
idea how to do this.
Thank you for taking the time to answer,

Simon
