That's quite correct - your headers are up to date and make doesn't need to do anything. In other words, "nothing to do for all-am" is not a complaint; that's just make telling you why it didn't appear to do anything. > This is probably because > automake did not generate Makefile.in, and configure did not generate a > Makefile.... any ideas if this is the correct approach ??? and why a > Makefile was not generated at all in the include dir ???? If you have include/Makefile in AC_OUTPUT_FILES() then automake should generate include/Makefile.in. > 2 - I tried putting include_HEADERS = $(srcdir)/../include/foo.h, remove > the include declaration dir from the top-level Makefile.am .... and it > worked just fine.... > > I was expecting there would be a way to declare include_HEADERS right in > the include/Makefile.am ??? that way I wouldn't have to declare the > relative paths to the HEADERS in the src/Makefile.am ??? any comments.... Ah. If you want a non-recursive makefile, you want this in $(top_srcdir)/Makefile.am: include_HEADERS = include/foo.h include/bar.h If instead you want per-subdirectory makefiles, you want this in include/Makefile.am: include_HEADERS = foo.h bar.h I'm not sure what failure you are still seeing though? Can you run 'make DESTDIR=/tmp/foo install' and see if your headers are installed in the /tmp/foo stagin area?
