People seem to be asking that every other month... Because I don't think it's important to be portable to all strange make programs (anyone can install gnu make). And because automake causes all sorts of nasty problems if you need to have unusual make rules to work together with the automake generated rules. I did use automake in nettle (and lsh) some years back. E.g., the "minor" change of behavior in automake to stop using suffix rules and instead generate one rule for each object file totally broke the way nettle sets up building of assembly files. I'm *not* going to switch back to automake, and I'm not going to use libtool either. /nisse -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid C0B98E26.
