When I run make autoheader runs automatically. Is it normal behaviour?

I understand that when I place a file in a AM_CONFIG_HEADER statement, I do not need to include it in AC_OUTPUT Does this mean automake reads all the macros in the header, and will use them in all Makefiles in the project? > > When I run ./configure && make I get errors in the spirit of: > > > > autoheader2.50: warning: missing template: SOCK_PATH > > autoheader2.50: Use AC_DEFINE([SOCK_PATH], [], [Description]) > > > > If I remove include/api.h from the Makefile.am, everything works > > like a charm. > > Did you forget running aclocal before autoconf/automake/autoheader? > Looks like your configure.ac reference this macro (SOCK_PATH) > and your project does not contain a local version of the macro > definition. I reran the toolchain, still I get the errors when I run make (again, only when I include api.h in pkginclude_HEADERS SOCK_PATH is defined in api.h.in which is included as AM_CONFIG_HEADER in configure.ac I was hoping the macros will be passed on to the other parts of the projects (namely the Makefiles). Thanks again for the invaluable guidance.
