xxx_SOURCES = $(top_srcdir)/headers/foo.h but this is buggy right now (see the thread PR 224).
as for #2, read the FAQ/documentation. You should anyway. for #3, also same answer as for #2. Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "cityhunter x-y-z" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: some distributed header problem i'd like to add in a makefile something like that xxxx_SOURCES = $(topsourcedir)/headers/smthg.h ..... to have make check if smthg.h have changed.... how could i do that? second question : why are makefile generated by automake so strange? all depends on all-am that only depends on ... that finally only depend on my project building rules.... why so much redirections.... and why using so much sinonymes? a lot of .PHONY are the same.... couldn't it be cleaned ? (it will be easier to understand).... third question : adding some new target : bin-dist and headers-dist, install-headers..... thanks for reading ``Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.''
