Sorry I don't understand this part of your mail. Could you *show* what you did, what you got, and explain what you would have expected? huangwei> And another question, how to let the same variable in huangwei> makefile.in of subdirectors be set at the same time? Any variable defined with `AC_SUBST' in your `configure.ac' will be defined in all your `Makefile's. If you also want to defines rules or if you don't want to define variables in *all* `Makefile's, you can factor these definitions in a `Makefile' fragment that you will `include' in all the relevant `Makefile.am's. See the `Include' section of the manual for the syntax. huangwei> I have set the top directory makefile, but it seem huangwei> that the makefiles in the subdirectory can't be set. Indeed. There is no "variable inheritance" between `Makefile's. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
