Could not be more boring: $ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417/src' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417/src' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tange/privat/parallel-20100417' > Also, if make install knows to install the man page, make should > automatically attempt to build it as well, so I'm confused as to why that > wouldn't happen. Could the installer just be assuming that the manpage does not need to be build? Since no one have pointed me to an existing minimal example for perl and automake I think we should make that example now. I have made the simplest program and included my (non working) automake files for that. Feel free to download that to make it work :-) http://ole.tange.dk/helloperl.tar.bz2 /Ole
