Good idea, but it didnt work.
I notice that the target file 'packet-pp.c' is not being listed when the
Makefile attempted to create the register.c file.
Question: Should I need to modify the Makefile.in file? or is that built
automatically?
Oh..S$%! Never mind. I see the problem. I need automake version 1.9 to
remake the Makefile.in ! (I only have version 1.6 installed)
Thanks for the quick response, though.
