[xsd-users] Code Generation with AutoTools

[Steve Sloan]

I'm starting a project using XSD, but am having some trouble generating 
the C++ (tree) code with AutoTools.  My simplistic approach was just to 
add the generated filenames (e.g. Schema.hxx, Schema.cxx) to the 
"app_SOURCES" line in Makefile.am, and add a rule to run XSD to create 
them from the .xsd file.

I have two issues with this:
1. It tries to compile the generated files, fails because they don't 
exist, then generates them.  On a fresh source tree, I have to run make 
twice to get a successful build.  I suspect this is a side effect of 
libtool or automake.

2. The generated files must reside in $srcdir, instead of $builddir. 
This is only an issue when building under KDevelop, but it clutters up 
the source tree.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ...
