I keep my local copy of the sources updated and for the last 6 weeks or
so I've not been able to do a full build because make fails:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../adler32.c', needed by
`adler32.lo'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/ethereal/epan'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/ethereal/epan'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm building an experimental dissector plugin and have followed the
instructions for editing various files, but I don't believe that any of
my local edits should have had an impact on this. BTW, my plugin is
working as expected, I just can't build the whole app.

The make structure is more complex than anything I'm used to so I'm
having a hard time figuring out what the problem is here. I've not found
on the web that anyone else is having the same problem, which I find odd
as it would indicate that I've done something to my local copy to
produce this problem but, again, I've not touched anything other than my
new directory under plugins and edited the few files that the
instructions say I must.

Before I go to the trouble of starting over with a clean copy I'm hoping
someone here can point out my mistake.

I'm building on Fedora 2.

Thanks
