Hello Ralf, [This thread was started on Jun 7. I couldn't find the list archive -- http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/automake.html doesn't mention any, and http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2005-06/ says there were no messages sent this month. Which archive do you use?]

I've tried to implement that. I've put the following line in my topmost configure.ac: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(lib/l1 src1) configure runs configure in lib/l1 and src1. However, src1/configure tries to link against lib/l1/libl1.a and fails since it can't find it. So I need to have lib/l1 built before I can configure src1. The only solution that I can think of is to use configure-stamp, make-stamp and introduce custom dependencies between them. What do you think? Thanks in advance, Baurzhan.
