Is there a specific reason to do this? I ask because it seems quite unusual to me. Do you perchance have a source tree that consists of several subpackages (i.e., uses the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro)? > "make distcheck" fails with the following error: > ----------------------------------- > && make dist \ > && rm -rf face-0.0.1.tar.gz face-0.0.1.tar.bz2 face-0.0.1.zip \ > && make distcleancheck > /bin/sh: ../configure: File or directory not found > make: *** [distcheck] Fehler 127 > -------------------------------- > > So how I tell automake that it should not execute ../configure > but ../components/configure when running "make distcheck"? > I've also searched the documentation but I did not found anything. Hmm, I can only guess that, if there is no technical necessity, that you could just arrange your package so that `configure' would be created in the root of the source tree, $top_srcdir. Alternatively, maybe it helps you to put a small wrapper script there that executes components/configure, but then again I would not know why that would be a useful thing to do. Cheers, Ralf
