You'll see what I mean when you do $ touch FOOautoheader BARautoheader $ echo *************************autoheader Secondly, all of this can be accomplished with fewer commands (except this, which is really only needed once): > touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog stamp-h $ autoreconf -v -i -f $ ./configure $ make * Fred J. wrote on Wed, Sep 08, 2004 at 09:30:10AM CEST: > I am getting this error: > ************************************************** > make[3]: Entering directory > `/home/sam/Hello_world/src' > make[3]: *** No rule to make target `print.cpp', > needed by `print.o'.

Please do not start a new thread for essentially the same question. Also, a lot of this is explained in the Autoconf manual.
