D'oh. Yes, thank you. > Moreover, the BUILT_SOURCES hack is necessary only for files which cannot > be handled by the normal dependencies, typically for headers. You don't need to copy headers. Just adjust the include path, as Harald had already done in one of his earlier examples. > So I'd suggest: > > linked_sources = common_interface.h common_interface.c more.c even-more.c > BUILT_SOURCES = common_interface.h > $(linked_sources): > $(LN_S) '$(INTERFACE_DIR)/$@' '$@' > CLEANFILES = $(linked_sources) So you can leave out the BUILT_SOURCES line completely. But you need to "rm -f '$@'" before invoking $(LN_S). Thanks for the other corrections, by the way. And yes: I for one have neither the time, nor the ability, nor access to make changes to GNU Automake. There is a reason for an AUTHORS file, and the bug-* lists and the Automake GNATS bug database. Cheers, Ralf
