> Alexandre Duret-Lutz The example I posted with the missing = was due to the fact I'd made an error in the post. I've copied below the *exact* Makefile.am that I have. Two things strick me as odd, and so concern me. 1) Without the 'EXTRA_DIST = atlc.xpm CircInRect.xpm etc', the programs seem to compile proplery, taking into account any changes in the .xpm files, but the .xpm files will not be included if I do a 'make dist'. It seems odd that they their presence is noted, but they don't get distributed. 2) Alexandre suggested the use of 'atlc.cpp: coax.xpm' (okay I quoted a simpler example before), but I'm not sure what that meant, and so did not do it. In the example below: atlcFrm.cpp depends on atlc.xpm RoundCoaxFrm.cpp depends on RoundCoax.xpm and so on. That below does seem to work, but is it the best way of doing it ??? All the .xpm files are listed twice, which seems liable to errors. bin_PROGRAMS = atlc atlc_SOURCES = atlcApp.cpp atlcFrm.cpp RoundCoaxFrm.cpp CoaxFrm.cpp \ CoaxFrm.h RoundCoaxFrm.h atlcApp.h atlcFrm.h resource.h \ FiniteDifferenceFrame.cpp FiniteDifferenceFrame.h \ EccentricCoaxFrame.cpp EccentricCoaxFrame.h \ TextFrame.cpp INCLUDES = @EXTRA_WXWINDOWS_CFLAGS@ atlc_LDADD = @EXTRA_WXWINDOWS_LIBS@ noinst_DATA = atlc.xpm CircInRect.xpm EccentricCoax.xpm \ FiniteDifference.xpm RectInCirc.xpm RectInRect.xpm \ RoundCoax.xpm StriplineCoupler.xpm SymmetricalStripline.xpm EXTRA_DIST = atlc.xpm CircInRect.xpm EccentricCoax.xpm \ FiniteDifference.xpm RectInCirc.xpm RectInRect.xpm \ RoundCoax.xpm StriplineCoupler.xpm SymmetricalStripline.xpm \ README tips.txt -- Dr. David Kirkby PhD, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web page: http://www.david-kirkby.co.uk Amateur radio callsign: G8WRB
