I assume you mean that bar/baz.c is normally built as bar/baz.o, but if I include foobar-objects in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, then *all* objects will be kept in foobar/. That's a nice feature, too. > Documentation and bug fixing are the only things delaying automake 1.5. > And right now I know of no bugs that must be fixed for the release. That's good to hear; coming on the heels of autoconf 2.50 and libtool 1.4, the GNU toolchain is getting a much-needed overhaul. I would love to see the new release within the next couple of months.
