Yes, this is something I've been doing, which I did find in the automake manual. > > SUBDIRS=$(READLINE_DIR) various tgdb cgdb > > DIST_SUBDIRS=various tgdb cgdb > > EXTRA_DIST=config $(READLINE_DIR) > > SUBDIRS = > if READLINE > SUBDIRS += readline-1.2.3 > endif > SUBDIRS = various tgdb cgdb > --- > > With this setup, Automake will dist all subdirs, no matter what configure > options you will use. Yes, this is what I have. The problem is, the readline directory does not have a distdir rule, so I end up with the error, make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bob/cvs/cgdb/cgdb.packrl/in-rl/readline-5.0' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `distdir'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bob/cvs/cgdb/cgdb.packrl/in-rl/readline-5.0' make: *** [distdir] Error 1 Any suggestions? Thanks, Bob Rossi
