Actually it was you who brought up the question of did it work in subdirectories. > Suppose I wanted to make two versions of hello - one in /src/hello and one > in /src/hello/debug.

Your use of "<http://makefile.am>" is terribly confusing. What do you mean by that? It is not a URL. Please explain. In addition to the good online documentation that accompanies the autotools there is also the good documentation available both online here below and as a honest to goodness paper copy for pleasant reading. http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ Really you are to the point that you simply need to try it. Just jump in and try some small examples. Bob
