AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS will cause the toplevel configure script to invoke the sub-configure script, and so both packages should be ready to be built after just invoking the first. Invoking `make' should then build both packages, given that you adjusted SUBDIRS accordingly in the toplevel Makefile.am. Before committing to this setup, you should test it extensively, though. Ideally `make distcheck' should pass. I'd even go as far and test it for both the combined packages, and only the inner package along. I'm sorry for the confusion, I mentioned too many things at once. > Will the library get installed when 'make install' is done?

OK, that should be fine. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
