It seems odd that they their David> presence is noted, but they don't get distributed. We notice the .xpm files as dependencies because we do automatic dependency tracking at compile time. You don't have to tell automake about the files included by a .c file. (Except in some less usual circumstances.) However, we can't take these dependencies and put them into the distribution. That simply wouldn't be appropriate in the general case. So we leave it up to you do mark such files. David> That below does seem to work, but is it the best way of doing David> it ??? All the .xpm files are listed twice, which seems liable David> to errors. There's no point in listing the .xpm files in noinst_DATA if you're going to list them in EXTRA_DIST. Why did you do this?
