The make install phase crashes with the following error. This happens in both the git checkout and the 0.5 release tarball.

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'include/poser/core.h', needed by 'posercore_install_headers'.  Stop.

Removing the DESTDIR variable (which I use for GNU Stow) doesn't seem to help. Even a dry run exposes the same error message.

kyle@didacus:~/src/xmoji-0.5$ make install -n
if [ -t 1 ]; then make --no-print-directory ZIMK__ISTTY=1 install; \
	       else make --no-print-directory ZIMK__ISTTY=0 install; fi

Please let me know if you need any more information. I just recently switched back to a lightweight desktop environment, and I'm looking forward to getting xmoji to run.

Side note: I guess I should be using PREFIX for GNU Stow, not DESTDIR. I always get the two mixed up and figure it out eventually.

Anyway, this missing rule error happens regardless of PREFIX/DESTDIR options.

Same issue, debian 12, gnu bash

Confirmed bug, the issue is trying to install the bundled poser lib (from the git submodule) which it shouldn't do! My fault not testing installation ever since I bundled poser.

Quick fix: So far it's a single binary and nothing else, copy it manually! 🙈😉

I'll look into it soon, probably an easy fix in the makefiles as well. (edit: even easier than I thought ...)
