Niels, why did you add the HAVE_* conditionals to the mapi/clients Makefile.ag?
As far as I can see, creating or installing the Python, Perl, and TCL files is not dependent on the presence of the interpreters. It's only when you go one level deeper, into the Cimpl and DBD directories that you get these dependencies. The Cimpl directories are already protected by HAVE_*_SWIG conditionals, so only the perl/DBD directory would need to be protected with a conditional.
this is needed for rpm. Ie no perl -> no MonetDB_perl rpm. So incase there is no perl we do not install the perl files. Indeed this is abit overkill but is it a problem that the perl files are not installed when perl is missing?
The "problem" is (as always ;-) Windows. The question is, should I
install the Perl, Python, and TCL files or not? I used to install the
Perl and Python files, but since they aren't built if I don't specify
HAVE_PERL and HAVE_PYTHON, the installer complains that the files don't
exist.
I think I'll just remove them from the installer.
Of course, we *know* that we have Python, since it is required for
building (autogen).
