To follow up with even more detail about this, Makefile.am looks like this: <quote> noinst_LIBRARIES = libNormal.a if FEATURE noinst_LIBRARIES += libNormalFeature.a endif libNormal_a_SOURCES = source.cpp if FEATURE libNormalFeature_a_SOURCES = $(libNormal_a_SOURCES) libNormalFeature_a_CXXFLAGS = -DFEATURE endif </quote> But, the Makefile that is generated from that Makefile.am has the above statements in the following order: <quote> noinst_LIBRARIES = libNormal.a ... libNormal_a_SOURCES = source.cpp ... LIBRARIES = $(noinst_LIBRARIES) ... noinst_LIBRARIES += libNormalFeature.a libNormalFeature_a_SOURCES = $(libNormal_a_SOURCES) libNormalFeature_a_CXXFLAGS = -DFEATURE </quote> Since LIBRARIES gets set with the value of noinst_LIBRARIES before it is augmented to include my special library, doesn't that mean that the special library won't ever get built? Why is the 'noinst_LIBRARIES +=' code in the conditional statement being inserted so late in the file even though it is specified right after the original 'noinst_LIBRARIES = ' statement? Scott
