That's what I'm doing now and everything nearly works as I want it to. I got a bit confused and tried adding VPATH explicitly in the OPTIONS. > > I assume you use Automake and Libtool and since your libraries are only > used within the project, there is no reason to install them. See section > on convenience libraries in Automake manual > http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Libtool-Convenience-Libraries I have several applications that want to use the same home-rolled library. Currently each application and library is a separate source tree with its own autotools tree. I've been adding CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to the configure command, but this seems to cause problems with LIBTOOLS as it tries to link the library that it is creating - which causes an error. thanks dan _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
