The problem is that I do not know autotools good enough to tell the upstream author what's wrong with his autotools configuration. What I've found out so far is that a tarfile produced by 'make dist' is much cleaner than the original source from upstream. Unfortunately this would break the subdir /converter (containing vmo2wav, not included in the package). I investigated this further and found out that the missing pieces (after 'make dist') will be included if I add all *.h and COPYRIGHT in converter/Makefile.am to the variable vmo2wav_SOURCES, then run 'automake' and 'make dist'. After that the new tarfile does not include these files, and that's what we want, isn't it. siefs-0.4/config.cache siefs-0.4/config.h siefs-0.4/config.log siefs-0.4/config.status siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/ siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/add.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/decode.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/gsm_create.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/gsm_decode.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/gsm_destroy.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/gsm_option.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/long_term.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/rpe.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/short_term.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/table.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/vmconvert.Po siefs-0.4/converter/.deps/vmo2wav.Po siefs-0.4/converter/Makefile siefs-0.4/Makefile siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/ siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/bfb.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/comm.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/crcmodel.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/obex.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/siefs.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/.deps/slink.Po siefs-0.4/siefs/Makefile siefs-0.4/stamp-h siefs-0.4/stamp-h1 siefs-0.4/stamp-h.in What I don't know is if that's the right way to go.
