Don't conditionally set AC_CONFIG_FILES([pkgc/Makefile]): if your user wants to be able to conditionally build pkgc, then you need to unconditionally distribute it, and for the dist rules you need that Makefile. <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Conditional-Subdirectories.html> has more information about different possible setups for conditional building. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
