[Xastir-dev] Using gunmake extensions in Makefile.am

[Jerry Dunmire]

I am working to generate the numerous OSM_* files from a single
template. It would be easy to do using a gnumake pattern rule
something like this:

%.geo: OSM_template.geo
        sed ....

However, use of pattern rules causes automake to warn that "`%'-style
pattern rules are a GNU make extension".

I can hide this warning by adding this to the Makefile.am
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wno-portablity])


The question is, do we need to continue supporting other make
programs, and may I make the change?
