Being new to automake, I am missing (not badly though) one feature I would want to use otherwise. This is, I'd occasionally want to say,
SUBDIRS = a/b in the toplevel Makefile.am. I know, the doc says that "The directories mentioned in SUBDIRS must be direct children of the current directory. For instance, you cannot put `src/subdir' into SUBDIRS." Is there any way to do this anyway? I mean, creating the corresponding build directory before running configure makes configure work where it would otherwise bail out with an mkdir error. I do fear, however, that other things I don't know of yet will discontinue to work if I do that. Thanks, Joerg
