Do not use a directory named "obj", <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/obj_002f-and-Make.html> Get to know how VPATH builds work: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html> They achieve something similar to what you want and are much more flexible in practice. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
