Yes, this works, too. > I suppose to fix TAGS you may need to rename EXTRA_maude_SOURCES to a > macro name not specially recognized by automake. This does eliminate duplicates, but references .processed.cpp in TAGS. Ideas? I guess swapping maude_SOURCES and maude_src isn't going to help since it seems I have to have the dummy .processed.cpp files in maude_SOURCES for the pre-processing rule to get invoked. > > > > Hmm, a nice trick!

I have no problems to modify the process as long as the users get roughly the same functionality. With kind regards, -- Baurzhan Ismagulov http://www.kz-easy.com/
