Perhaps automake should recognize the following idiom for adding new 'include .dep/*' lines: AM_DEP_FILES = $(DEPDIR)/foo.Ptexi $(DEPDIR)/bar.idl.Pcc It can just add these files to the DEP_FILES variable, and have the 'include' lines automatically added. - Hari -- Raja R Harinath ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
