Doesn't autoconf/automake generate makefile dependencies for the output files it configures? When I have maintainer-mode turned off, the make rules automatically rerun config.status when an input file has changed. e.g. cd .. && config.status src/foo.h In response to Ralf's suggestion: AC_CONFIG_FILES([foo.h.tmp:foo.h.in], dnl ... move-if-change foo.h.tmp foo.h ) This will work except that there will be no foo.h: foo.h.tmp dependency automatically generated to auto-reconf, which would be nice. It's not difficult to add the rule in the Makefile.am manually, but it's just one more thing to remember (and explain to someone reading through my files). I'll play around some more...
