Is this known, a temporary issue, or something local to my setup?You might need to rerun autogen.sh, or perhaps just automake. In migrating from libnotify to GNotification, balsa.desktop was renamed to org.desktop.Balsa.desktop, and the .in files and Makefile.am were changed accordingly. I'm guessing you have a stale Makefile. Let us know if you can fix it. Thanks!autogen.sh did the trick. No stale Makefile, this was building from scratch. I think the main file fixed by this was Makefile.in. What I had been worried about was running autogen and then having a bunch of files different from git. However, I now see that all files modified by autogen are actually in .gitignore so no problems with this.
I guess an in-tree build is taken care of by .gitignore. An out-of-tree build is more robust: mkdir path/to/builddir cd path/to/builddir path/to/srcdir/autogen.sh --what-ever make will create 'configure' in the git tree, but all the other generated files are in builddir. Your git tree will be (almost) clean, even if .gitignore isn't kept up to date (really? that happens?☺) Peter
