Ahh, you're going in the right direction: show what you want to achieve, not how you think it would be best to do it. > For a particular project, there are a handful of .c files that need to > be compiled to .o files and installed as .o files, not linked into any > executable. I came up with this ugly workaround: Well, I think the cheapest and least error-prone operation is the creation of a static library. Unless you need it otherwise, set RANLIB = : in this Makefile.am, and noinst_LIBRARIES = libfoo.a libfoo_a_SOURCES = ... You could even hack like this (but I won't guarantee that it won't break with another Automake release): AR = : ARFLAGS = > > Specifically, the first gets compiled into both crt1.o and crt2.o, and > the second gets compiled into both dllcrt1.o and dllcrt2.o.

But I don't see why you should need BUILT_SOURCES, at least not from this snippet alone; you could just as well list those .o files as dependencies to all-local, or put them in some libexecdir_SCRIPTS or so. And I think you can make use of COMPILE to your advantage, instead of using CC directly. > BUILT_SOURCES = crt1.o crt2.o dllcrt1.o dllcrt2.o > crt1.o: > $(CC) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -D__CRTDLL__ -U__MSVCRT__ -c > $(top_srcdir)/crtexe.c -o $@ > crt2.o: > $(CC) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -D__MSVCRT__ -U__CRTDLL__ -c > $(top_srcdir)/crtexe.c -o $@ > dllcrt1.o: > $(CC) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -D__CRTDLL__ -U__MSVCRT__ -c > $(top_srcdir)/crtdll.c -o $@ > dllcrt2.o: > $(CC) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) -I$(top_srcdir) -D__MSVCRT__ -U__CRTDLL__ -c > $(top_srcdir)/crtdll.c -o $@ Hope that helps.
