For my introduction to autotools, I'm trying to "autoconfiscate" a project and cannot get the top-level Makefile to handle the directory structure. The all-am: rule is empty--it has dependencies on Makefile and config.h, but no action inside the rule. ... all-am: Makefile config.h installdirs: ... The directory structure looks like: top +---src +-- sub1 +-- sub2 In the top folder, in configure.ac, I have: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile src/Makefile src/sub1/Makefile src/sub2/Makefile]) The top-level Makefile.am is a one-liner: subdirs = src and the src/Makefile.am is also a one-liner, pointing to the two subfolders: subdirs = sub1 sub2 I'm sure I must be missing something in my configure.ac, but I'm at a loss to know what. The output of ./configure looks reasonable, with all the Makefiles being built at each level. The "leaf node" makefiles all look reasonable and execute as expected (considering that I still have work to do in other areas). It's just that the two Makefiles that should be diving down into the source tree just stop. -- Daryl Lee Open the Present--It's a Gift. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
