Hi,
this is an Automake question, so please let's move to the Automake list.

No, you can use DIST_SUBDIRS or, better yet, AM_CONDITIONAL. See below.

No, $(READLINE_DIR) doesn't belong to EXTRA_DIST.
DIST_SUBDIRS should contain all possible subdirs. So it should contain
the name of the readline subdir, even if you configured without it:
DIST_SUBDIRS=readline-1.2.3 various tgdb cgdb
This is the whole purpose of DIST_SUBDIRS; it contains conditional subdirs,
even if they are not enabled.
But it's much more convenient to let Automake compute DIST_SUBDIRS for you.
Add this to your configure.ac:
---
# determine whether to build readline
... build_readline=yes
# Tell to Automake:
AM_CONDITIONAL([READLINE], [test "$build_readline" = yes])
---
and in your Makefile.am do:
---
SUBDIRS =
if READLINE
SUBDIRS += readline-1.2.3
endif
SUBDIRS = various tgdb cgdb
---
With this setup, Automake will dist all subdirs, no matter what configure
options you will use.
Have a nice day,
Stepan Kasal
