[rabbitmq-discuss] Problem with plugin development guide example

[Tim Pizey]

Hi,

this is my first outing with rabbitmq, erlang and make so apologies if
I have made a stupid oversight.

I have installed erlang:
 Erlang R14A (erts-5.8) [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [rq:2]
[async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.8

(and zip)

on my uptodate debian amd64 sid which gives GNU Make 3.81

I have followed the example at http://www.rabbitmq.com/plugin-development.html
and can get rabbit-server running without any plugins.

The result of running make in the rabbit_metronome directory is

I can get it to complete by touching ebin/.app
however that creates a corrupt package

I manually removed rabbit_metronome/dist/ebin/.app and manually repackaged,
but the server still crashes on startup.

Is there a bash script, or a repository copy of a working version of the
metronome app, so that can check if I have made a typo somewhere?

I do not know make well enough, but it looks like a list has an
additional empty member.

yours
