Is there a better way? Hi, Do you really need those directory variables at configure time, or will having them available in the Makefiles suffice? I can't help but guess, It almost looks like you want to use them like so (in automake): AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_builddir)/whatever -I$(top_srcdir)/whatever If you're using those variables for something else other than compiling, it may just be simpler to use what's available at make-time.
