Hey all, Potentially odd question... How would I accomplish something like what's in the subject? I have a source file that wants to be built before other files - so including it in BUILT_SOURCES does the right thing, but I do _not_ want to have it included in the dist tarball. I tried removing it from BUILT_SOURCES and adding in a rule that looks like: %.cc: drizzled/configmake.h But that didn't work. Any thoughts? While we're at it - this whole thing is to get expanded values of autoconf directories into a header file where I can consume them... which because they contain nested variables (localstatedir=${prefix}/var}) I seemingly have to do at make time. The dist problem above could be solved if anybody knows a decent trick to fully expand those variables at configure time... I've tried many combinations of eval and quoting - but nothing seems to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks!
