Hey, I didn't intend to be mean about it at all. I don't mind if people recommend non-autotools solutions on this list (as long as they don't put autotools down unreasonably). All I'm saying is that I don't go out of my way and think about these issues, too. If you have a special problem and can describe it, I may well look into it. But not doing so for any reason is not harsh. It's just my choice. Maybe someone else helps you (or maybe someone else writes such an obviously wrong answer that I will feel obliged to correct ;-). At a very high level: Makefile.am files are pretty much just Makefiles with extra syntactic sugar. So you can write plain make rules. Do whatever you did with make before you used Automake. Cheers, Ralf
