The directory and Makefile should exist, even if it isn't used. You cannot disable generation of the Makefile in your configure.ac. > Is this a bug in 1.7.6 or do I have to solve this another way? A rule of thumb is that every Makefile.am should have a corresponding *unconditional* AC_CONFIG_FILES entry in your configure.ac. The directories and Makefiles should be created even if nothing in them is built. - Hari -- Raja R Harinath ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
