Error Building

[legonigel]

I cloned the repo, ran ./configure then make and I get the following error I have no idea what this issue is:

Same thing here. On Ubuntu 15.10 with make 4.0.

Edit:---
Seems to be the same problem than issue #47

I got the same problem. Ubuntu Server 14.04 with make 3.81
@legonigel @plangevin Did you find any solution?

Does this diff fix it for you?

Actually this seems to be sufficient:

And actually it seems you can even just delete the file, and run configure, which makes since since it's a generated file, so probably shouldn't be checked into source control anyway.

Any update on this?

I'd like to upload 1.6.1 to Debian soon.

Cheers,

I've removed the generated files from the repo.
