First: What exactly is "the autoconf, automake" stuff? You can get some stuff in a subdirectory, but not all: configure/configure.ac, the toplevel Makefile (plus eventual input files for it) need most likely remain there. (configure* can be moved with a trick, at least for older Autoconf versions; but you don't want that.) See AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR (if you use aclocal) for more info. Second: This stuff is very most likely not only suitable for GNU/Linux. In fact, were your software for GNU/Linux only, I would not see the need for the autotools. > I have problems when I define > SUBDIRS=../src I believe SUBDIRS needs to contain directories that are subdirectories of the current one. > There are compiling errors coming from the .. in the path. > Is there a howto/tutorial or sample? <http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/> Regards, Ralf
