"--gnu" comes from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am or from > AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and "--add-missing" is added with "--install". OK. Maybe it is the way I use it. In any case configure.ac has: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.6 gnits dist-bzip2]) and I invoked "autoreconf" as you saw in the comment (*with* --install) > ## autoreconf --force --install --include=m4 -Wall and the files COPYING, INSTALL, config.guess and config.sub were not copied into the directory until I directly invoked "automake" with the noted options: > automake --gnu --add-missing --copy --ignore-deps -Wall And, as I said, adding these options to the AUTOMAKE environment variable did not work.. I haven't tried the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS environment variable because it is an unusual option passing environment name, so I did not know to look for it. Perhaps it is just my environment, but I did just do a fresh SuSE 9.2 install......
