Of course it is simple enough to just put them on the same line. My question is, is there a correct way to augment a built-in rule or variable without clobbering the behavior it would ordinarily have? I wasn't able to use "DISTCLEAN +=" for this. Anyway, my project is working. Thanks, David Bruce _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
