I am planning to change a project of mine such that all the autotools files
will be in a directory instead of in the top_srcdir. So far, I have
a layout like this (not all files shown):
top_srcdir/
src/
doc/
cf/
configure.ac
acinclude.m4
In configure.ac I use both AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(cf) and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(cf).
I bootstrap the project with the commands run from the top_scrdir:
( cd cf ; aclocal )
( cd cf ; autoconf -o ../configure )
Everything works as expected, but I cannot add automake support to my
package, because automake seems to need both configure.ac and aclocal.m4 at
the top_scrdir. My question is: can I convince automake to look for the
files at cf/, but still be run from the top_scrdir?
