You could create a static convenience library in src/Makefile.am as follows: src/Makefile.am: - ----------------- bin_PROGRAMS = myprog check_LTLIBRARIES = libtest.la common_srcs = foo.cc bar.cc myprog_SOURCES = $(common_srcs) main.cc libtest_la_SOURCES = $(common_srcs) tests/Makefile.am - ----------------- check_PROGRAMS = testrunner testrunner_SOURCES = testrunner.cc foo_test.cc bar_test.cc testrunner_LDADD = ../src/libtest.la Of course, this could just as easily have been done without Libtool by using the LIBRARIES primary, and a few other syntactical differences, but I prefer Libtool, as the syntax is simpler.
