I'm rather newcomer to automake, so my patch was intended only as suggestion. I agree it's better to wait for someone who understands this. I changed it to use "" and added as attachement for case you'll be interested. But as I said, it is only suggestion. > But isn't this completely partial? Don't you have the problem > elsewhere too?

I just tried to build from other directory than where are the sources. Or this is no longer supported?
