thanks, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS was what i was looking for. But another question about the make part:
i added a SUBDIRS to the Makefile.am so that the dbus stuff gets build before the plugin. But i dont want it to get installed. is there a possibilty that the dbus Makefile ignores the make install and just builds without installing? On Wed, 2003-10-15 at 03:33, Stephen L.
