That seems to be what most people do. It's what I do. It does mean that CVS users must have the autotools available on their systems so that the generated files can be created. But maintaining generated files in revision control can be rather annoying. > Forgive a newbie question, how do I completely clean all generated > files? - Apart from doing it manually?

Generally it's not something you *need* to do; though I can see how it would be handy when you're first importing your project into revision control. For that purpose I've just manually removed the generated files. > And one other, unrelated question: So I use automake, autoconf, > autoheader and aclocal.

Run autoreconf and let it figure it out. :-) -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
