I'm having trouble getting a .deps directory generated when I think it should. As a result, I see this error:
Makefile:357: .deps/TestECVersion.Po: No such file or directory I don't think I'm doing anything particularly complicated. My directory structure looks like this: agent config/ testmain/ util/ tests/ where configure.ac lives in agent and contains: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile util/Makefile util/tests/Makefile:config/cppunit.mk.in:util/tests/Makefile.in testmain/Makefile]) and, Makefile.am in agent contains: SUBDIRS = testmain util and Makefile.am in util contains: SUBDIRS = tests Makefile.am in tests contains: noinst_PROGRAMS = immOutTester threadStartTester zombie testrunner immOutTester_SOURCES = immOutTester.cpp threadStartTester_SOURCES = threadStartTester.cpp zombie_SOURCES = zombie.cpp taestrunner_SOURCES = TestECVersion.cpp I run agent $ autoreconf -fvi aagent $ rm -rf build; mkdir build; cd build; ../configure agent $ find . -name ".deps" ./util/.deps ./testmain/.deps Note that if I change the AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac to: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile util/Makefile util/tests/Makefile testmain/Makefile]) things work fine (i.e. util/tests/.deps exists). I'm using automake 1.10 and autoconf 2.61 on linux/bash/make 3.79.1. Any chance I need to upgrade make to pull this off? I'm not sure what other info I should send to be helpful (config.log? Makefile.am? cppunit.mk.in? All of it?) Thanks for your help. -DB
