Hello list, I have the following problem: I want to add an external package to our own package. The external package is already configured in the sense that its maintainer ran "make dist" and I simply untared the tar file into some directory underneath our source tree. I add that directory to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS in our main configure.ac and to SUBDIRS in our main Makefile.am so that when I run our configure script I will also run the configure script of the source package. The problem I have now is that when I run autoreconf it descends into the external package and tries to remake the configure script in there. How can I avoid that from happening?
Thanks already, nick
