Yes, agreed as well, but I think nobody is suggesting that you have to be completely nonrecursive. It often helps a lot to have fewer Makefiles than one per directory, especially in parts of a source tree where they are rather simple. > - subdir makefile.am-fragments are tedious to maintain in longer terms. > In practice, in nontrivial projects, at least I found myself ending up > with a mixture of real flat Makefiles (no subdir *.ams) and independent > subdirs. But wouldn't they be easier to maintain if there were an "import" feature? Cheers, Ralf
