No. The limitation is intentional, because then you can have a ApplicationOld.cpp in your source tree, without having it automatically compiled or distributed. Even with revision control, this is handy at times. > And for AM_* Flags, they are declared the same way over a number of > Makefile's. Can I declare them somehow that all Makefile's get > updated?? Yes. AC_SUBST them from configure.ac. I'd also avoid hard-coding paths like /usr/include/scada -- what if your users would like to install scada below $HOME, for example. Further, -I flags typically belong into *CPPFLAGS, so in this case in AM_CPPFLAGS. And -L/-l are better put into *LDADD, but that's not so much of a problem here. If libhmi_runtime is part of your package though (thus also uninstalled), then you should put it in *LDADD, and list it as relative path, e.g., LDADD = ../lib/libhmi_runtime.la (if created with libtool), because that way, automake will add proper dependencies to the library. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
