Sorry for the slow reply, got lost in my inbox. Perhaps I get too much mail...

Does input/scan.ll exist in >the directory this particular make is running? (You didn't say >where you ran make dist; is it in a VPATH build?) I'm not entirely sure what VPATH is. Apparently some way for make to find dependencies which are in non-obvious places, according to the all-knowing google. I've never consciously set it up, but maybe automake does this automagically for non-recursive setups? Maybe I should explain some more about my build system. My directory tree is something like: / /configure.ac /Makefile.am /INSTALL /README /ChangeLog /<etc.> /tests /tests/Makefile.am /src/Makefile.am /src/parse/Inc.am /src/ast/Inc.am [. . .] The toplevel automakefile (`/Makefile.am', above) is simply a recursive make call via SUBDIRS, into both `/src' and `/tests'. The automakefile in /src (`/src/Makefile.am') is a NONrecursive make which has lines like include $(srcdir)/parse/Inc.am in it. I'm running `make dist' from the `/' given above. <snip> > tf> libAll_a_SOURCES += \ > tf> $(srcdir)/parse/grammar.ypp \ > tf> $(srcdir)/parse/scan.ll > >You could use *.lpp or *.yy for consistency. Thanks, I was unaware that extension was possible. <snip> > tf> parser_SOURCES = \ > tf> $(srcdir)/input/grammar.ypp \ > tf> $(srcdir)/input/scan.ll > >Those $(srcdir)/ prefixes everywhere seem pointless to me, I'd remove them. Done. I also tried removing it from the `include' statements I mentioned above. While its working fine in terms of building the software, I'm still getting the same `make dist' error (well, now "scan.ll" is replaced by "scan.lpp", but same deal). Thanks for your help / advice! -tom
