The above is an approximation of 'make dist', not of distcheck. I think you've misunderstood the intention of distcheck, explaned here: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Preparing-Distributions.html>, and in links pointed to from there. And BTW, if you don't need the distribution-related rules from Automake, then you can use the 'no-dist' option so they aren't output. Cheers, Ralf
