Oh, btw, I'm using automake-1.6.3. And one other problem... My project has a library and an executable that links to that library. So, e.g. my project's Makefile.am is something like this: lib_LTLIBRARIES = liba/liba.la liba_liba_la_SOURCES = liba/liba.c bin_PROGRAMS = a/a a_a_SOURCES = a a_a_LDADD = $(top_builddir)/liba/liba.la So, liba/liba.c and a/a.c get compiled to liba.o and a.o respectively. liba.la gets created as liba/liba.la, and the real .so and .a files are put in liba/.libs, as expected. But, make distclean fails to remove liba/.libs or any of the files within, apparently because make distclean does rm -f liba/liba.la instead of using libtool to remove it. Pete
