I am cleaning up some autoconf scripts to support multiple builds against the same source, as in
mkdir build_dir1 cd build_dir1 ../configure In the middle of this large autoconf based project there's a third party module that does not use autoconf. "./configure" style builds work because make just finds the stock Makefile in the source directory. "../configure" style builds break because autoconf didn't create a directory and Makefile in the $(top_builddir) tree. Is there a standard way to work around this other than adding Makefile.am's to the third party module? I imagine that the workaround would involve copying the entire source module to the $(top_builddir) tree... Thanks, -troy
