Failure to make dist from trunk

[JumBê]

Hi. I was trying to follow the instructions at http://zabbix.org/wiki/Compilation_instructions
I wanted to create a .tar.gz with the current distribution at zabbix's GitHub. However, when i use the command "make dist" i get the following error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/VCS_zabbix_SVN/zabbix/src/zabbix_java'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `bin', needed by `distdir'. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/VCS_zabbix_SVN/zabbix/src/zabbix_java'
make[2]: *** [distdir] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/VCS_zabbix_SVN/zabbix/src'
make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/VCS_zabbix_SVN/zabbix'
make: *** [dist] Error 2


I don't really know what is going on. If i checkout the files from the SVN, through svn co, everything runs fine. Maybe these instructions are only meant to be run on those files imported from SVN. How can i make it work on git?

dist and ditcheck targets are broken from many years. In 4.0 have been introduced even more dist* targets issues.

Hi. In the mean time i was able to fix the problem. I only had to create a bin folder at ../src/zabbix_java. After that i was able to create the distribution with "make dist".
