Let's work on > solution that don't require modifying Automake each time > Autoconf introduce a new variable. Doesn't autoconf already AC_SUBST these? Running autoconf 2.59 in directory /home/keith/zz, with ... <configure.ac> AC_INIT AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile) AC_OUTPUT </configure.ac> <Makefile.in> abs_srcdir = @abs_srcdir@ abs_top_srcdir = @abs_top_srcdir@ abs_builddir = @abs_builddir@ abs_top_builddir = @abs_top_builddir@ </Makefile.in> after running ... autoconf; ./configure I see ... <Makefile> abs_srcdir = /home/keith/zz abs_top_srcdir = /home/keith/zz abs_builddir = /home/keith/zz abs_top_builddir = /home/keith/zz </Makefile> so where's the problem? IIRC, these variables were not available prior to autoconf 2.59, so maybe you just need to upgrade.
