I tested it in Linux with automake 1.9.6 and it still doesn't work. I changed the rc rule to compile an rc file that was really a C file. It still doesn't interpret the directory correctly.
Per your other suggestions, I have altered my Makefile.am like so: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects EXTRA_DIST = res/icon32x32.ico res/icon32x32.xpm \ res/alphabet.xpm res/mpg.xrc CLEANFILES = res/mpg.cc bin_PROGRAMS = mpg mpg_SOURCES = AppConstants.hh \ MPGApp.cc MPGApp.hh \ exceptions/InvalidPasswordException.cc \ exceptions/InvalidPasswordException.hh \ model/Password.cc model/Password.hh \ view/MPGFrame.cc view/MPGFrame.hh \ view/PasswordPanel.cc view/PasswordPanel.hh nodist_mpg_SOURCES = res/mpg.cc if WINDOWS mpg_SOURCES += windows.rc endif .rc.o: windres @WX_INCLUDES@ -o $@ $< .xrc.cc: wxrc -c -o $@ $< > Are you willing to test this with CVS Automake? (Requires test > Autoconf.) Sure. How do I get CVS Automake and Autoconf? --John Ratliff
