I have found a workaround. It seems that automake generates a rule to build a library, only if XXX_la_SOURCES is defined. So the following doesn't work:
SUBDIRS = lib1 lib2 . lib_LTLIBRARIES = libgather.la libgather_la_SOURCES = libgather_la_LIBADD = lib1/libgoodbye1.la lib2/libgoodbye2.la But the following works (!): SUBDIRS = lib1 lib2 . lib_LTLIBRARIES = libgather.la libgather_la_SOURCES = gather.c libgather_la_LIBADD = lib1/libgoodbye1.la lib2/libgoodbye2.la The gather.c is an empty file (created with "touch gather.c"). Is there a way to make this work without the gather.c file? Thanks for your help! Alexandros
