hi.

i wrote a conduit for gnome-pilot so that you dont have to kill gpilotd
before using multisync with the palm plugin and so you dont have to
press "Sync" when you pressing the hotsync button should be enough.
im using the dbus for communication between the conduit and the palm
plugin.

Here is my problem:
the dbus packages are pretty much useless since the dbus API changes way
to often. thats why i include a copy of dbus in my code (which also has
the advantage that the dbus daemon does not need to run) and link my
application with it. here is what the directory structure looks like:

palm_sync (configure.in Makefile.am)
palm_sync/src (Makefile.am)
palm_sync/dbus (configure.in Makefile.am)
palm_sync/dbus/dbus (Makefile.am)
palm_sync/dbus/glib (Makefile.am)

what i want it to do is that i only have to ./configure in palm_sync and
make in palm_sync. then the autotools should configure and make the dbus
libraries and after that the palm plugin.

How can that be done?

i tried adding the dbus dirs to the AC_OUTPUT macro. but then the second
configure.in in the top dbus dir gets ignored which will result in
corrupt Makefiles.

Any hints?

btw: it works if i built it manually like this:

cd dbus
./configure
make
cd ..
./configure
make install
