The usual setup is to have one Makefile.am per subdirectory, build many nodist_LTLIBRARIES in child-packages, and gather them in parent packages. [src/Makefile.am] SUBDIRS = sub1 sub2 ... lib_LTLIBRARIES = libtop.la libtop_la_SOURCES = libtop_la_LIBADD = \ sub1/libsub1.la \ sub2/libsub2.la \ ... [src/sub1/Makefile.am] noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libsub1.la libsub1_la_SOURCES = ... [src/sub2/Makefile.am] (with nested packages) SUBDIRS = sub2.1 sub2.2 ... noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libsub2.la libsub2_la_SOURCES = libsub2_la_LIBADD = \ sub2.1/libsub1.2.la \ sub2.2/libsub2.2.la \ ... etc. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
