yes, it is. Yet it can be useful in certain situations. > I would like to generate some code for an optional convenience > library exactly when needed. Perhaps you could place the library to a separate directory. Then you'd use AM_CONDITIONAL(MYLIB, ...) in configure.ac and if MYLIB SUBDIRS += mylib endif to control whether the recursion of make goes into that dir. If the make won't recurse, it won't build BUILT_SOURCES there. Yes, this is just another workaround, but perhaps it'll help you. Stepan Kasal
