When you use Automake, you *need* to keep in mind that conceptually, you have a source tree, a build tree, and an install tree. Source tree is where your sources are. configure.ac, configure, Makefile.am, Makefile.in files are also here. Build tree is the directory in which you type $path_to/configure [OPTIONS...] This is where the Makefile files live, config.status lives here, also all your objects, libraries, programs you just built with 'make'. This tree can be identical to the source tree, in which case $path_to is just '.', or it can be separate from the source tree. This helps to have many many build trees, one for AIX, one for GNU/Linux, one for debugging, and one for super-duper-optimized. The install tree is, by default, below /usr/local, and you can change that by passing --prefix=... to configure. Now, the layout between the source and the build tree is obviously parallel. You should not, in general specify $(srcdir) for source files. So this is not needed when using Automake: > srcdir = @srcdir@ > ... > foo_SOURCES = $(srcdir)/foo.c Just write foo_SOURCES = foo.c * Matej Tyc wrote on Thu, Sep 04, 2008 at 11:11:58AM CEST: > 2008/9/4 Harlan Stenn <stenn@xxxxxxx> > > In bin/Makefile.am you want: > > > > foo_SOURCES = foo.c > > > > H > This contradicts with the autoconf manual (see the page 28, chapter 4.8.4, > "Build Directories") No it doesn't. The Autoconf manual, however, doesn't in all places assume that you use Automake in conjunction with Autoconf. Hope that helps. And please, pretty please stop top-posting, otherwise you will soon have at least one less reader.
