Build fails due to no rule to make target libparse.la

[rachitarora]

In the directory compiler/py
make[4]: *** No rule to make target ../libparse.la', needed bylibfrontend.la'. Stop.

If the dependency on libparse is removed, it fails due to
make[4]: *** No rule to make target ../libthriftcompilerbase.la', needed bylibfrontend.la'. Stop.

If that dependency is also removed, it fails due to
/usr/bin/python setup.py build

Right - You'll have to 'make' in the compiler directory first. Not sure the right way to fix this in autotools

[djwatson]

Closing - 'make' in the root dir should work. Not sure how to make intra-dir deps in autotools
